A Senior leader that absolutely understood the linkage between a unit’s maintenance program and its readiness. He ALWAYS took the time to mentor junior officers and NCOs. He will be missed.
My sincere condolences to the Hall family. Rest in peace, soldier.
Served in 111th Avn Gp when he first entered the guard. A truly great soldier, individual, and friend. Condolences to Bill and family. He has gone to be with your mother!
