Happy Birthday George Edward Hall Sr

Today is once again May 13th, it would have been your 65th birthday. It would have been a time for you to start your retirement and enjoy the later years of your life watching your great grandchildren now grow up. I'm sure it was a day you envisioned yourself, the day you retired and hung up the mining gear for the last time. A time when you wanted to get in the RV and just tour the country and enjoy the rewards of a long life of working under the earths surface.

Unfortunately for all of us, this summer will be 11 years since your dream of this day was halted. Life is short and it waits for no one and I think that this more than anything is what I walked away from with your passing. 54 years old was way too young to leave, too many memories that were yet to be shared and enjoyed.

We all wish you could have been here the last 11 years and would have allowed all of us to join together today and celebrate your 65th birthday and the day you would have most likely hung up your mining equipment for the last time. It would have been a wonderful celebration enjoyed by everyone around you.

Unfortunately this large celebration is not going to happen, but I will keep the memory of what should have been alive today on my blog. We miss you Dad, Happy 65th Birthday.
