Sheriff Hall,
On today, the 50th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Navy in the Pacific fighting the Japanese during World War II and before that when you served the Far East during the 1930’s-especially the Yangtze River Patrol on the gunboat USS Panay. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

It never does stop hurting. Remembering my wonderful dad and mother (Wanda Baucum Hall, wife of 25 years) and how much fun they had together and with us kids.... But the sense of lost time and memories that should have happened isn't as real as the love dad gave us and his steady presence in our lives.

2017 was the centenary of my dad's birth. Amazing to think about how alive he still is in so many hearts. We who still remember his big heart, gentle chuckle and deeply held values know that he has become a part of us.

MEMORIAL DAY 2016 approaching. As every year it awakens anew memories of that first day of November 1972 and the shocking events which took the life of one of the finest, Boyd L. Hall, my husband.
Much has been said in his honor. All I can add is: GONE, BUT NEVER
FORGOTTEN AND NEVER WILL BE. Rest in peace.

So many memories--fishing trips, camping and teaching us the stars and constellations, funny stories, that kind chuckle, deep loyalty to family and friends, love and pride in your grandchildren that you only got to know as babies. Unflinching honesty, solid values, an amazing work ethic, and great sense of fun. The older I get the more I realize how young you were when you left us. The pain never gets better, but your deep love for your brothers,kids and our mother lives on in those who knew you best.

It takes a strong soul to negotiate with suicidal people, you have to connect on a personal level with someone with no desire to live, and you must make them see that their life is worth living, and there is the possibility of failing. Sheriff Hall seemed to be a calm and collected man, capable of doing this difficult task, and for some reason, the man he was trying to help turned on him. The deaths that are hardest to explain, are the hardest to move on from. He will not be forgotten.

May 2011 - the month when we reflect on our devoted law enforcement officers - those who have fallen - those who are being honored for outstanding services.
There will be Memorial services in every county - wreath will be laid - flags will fly and gun salutes will be reverberating in the air and then revellie.
Tears will flow - there will be hugs to comfort those in need.

We, who have lost a loved one, will remember and hope that they have not fallen in vain.

Boyd, there are a couple of adorable boys, Ryan and Gavin in Virginia.. They are Michelle's children and Gavin wants to become a Sheriff "just like Opa Boyd". He holds your badge in his treasure chest and views it frequently.

REst in Peace. My love is still yours.

I too remember this day as my father Norman "Smokey" Bear stood by Boyd's side. The years after with all the fear that a young child could imagine wondering if her father too would not come home because of a senseless act. I remember visiting the sheriff's office and speaking with Boyd. The respect that he gave a young child that was so proud of her Daddy.

Dad passed away in May of 1981 so I am sure that the 2 are patrolling together and watching over their families and loved ones.

RIP

Today I was invited to an interested group to hear the story of my life with you, short tho it was. But the memory sharp as ever and I relived it all, from the the time we met until the time you left me on another journey.
Many of my family and friends have joined you since that time in 1972. I am still here, upholding your memory.
In the hallways of our local Sheriff's department there is displayed the flag of Law Enforcement, which I brought from Washington to forever honor you, BOYD L. HALL, my unforgettable husband.
Elfriede Hall, a widow still, dwelling in the belief that you are in a better world.
And the love lingers on.

We had a great chat about Boyd this weekend. We know he heard us comment about his friendship, love, honor and integrity.

Sheriff Boyd Hall was loved by all of his family to be certain, and watches over all to this day.

He is the true model of service to his fellow man, a tribute he would humbly deny to be sure.

Sheriff Hall is greatly missed and loved. May God bless all those he called family, friends, and partners in his too-short life.

He also had two grandchildren, Matthew and Liza Kellogg. Sheriff Hall would have loved to see them both evolve into exceptional adults, as he was thrilled to have them in his life when they were both infants. Rest in peace, Sheriff. Your blood relatives honor your memory.
