Larry L. Hall passed away Monday, July 22, 2024 at the Smith Center Health and Rehab at the age of 84 after a long battle with Parkinson's.

He was born January 24, 1940, during a snowstorm, north of Agra, Kansas, the son of Roy and Zella (Munyon) Hall. After graduating from Agra, he attended Kansas Wesleyan. He received his masters from St Louis, MO.  He taught school and coached several sports for 24 years at Milford, Logan, Oberlin, Phillipsburg, Arapaho NE, and Mankato before taking over the family farm.

He enjoyed attending singles dances for many years, where he met his future wife.

He was united in marriage to Patricia (Mohrman) Phinney on January 23, 1999 in McCook, NE.  To this union Larry gained a bonus family of 4 step children and their families.

He was an avid baseball lover, especially the Kansas City Royals and local sporting events.  He rarely missed attending church. Larry was proud of his longhorn cattle and enjoyed showing off his farm in his old '79 pickup. Spending days on the farm with the kids and grandkids was always a favorite.  The Agra Lake was an important project for Larry, in which he was instrumental in getting it revitalized.  He even donated the walking bridge.

Larry was preceded in death by his parents, Roy and Zella Hall, and brother-in-law Bill Bright.
