| The White Mountain Independent, Show Low, Arizona ~ 11/18/2014 Frank Joseph “Joe” Hall, 56, of Page and Livingston, Mont., and Red Hill and Quemado, N.M., died Oct. 13, 2014, with his family by his side after a long bout with cancer. He was born March 4, 1958, in Atchinson, Kan. Joe moved with his father and mother Dorothy Jean Sutton Hall to Flagstaff in 1962. His father remarried in 1965 and he and his mom, Sylvia Straub Hall, raised Joe. He was born to be a cowboy. When he was 4 years old, he disappeared early one morning only to be discovered heading back home with his arms wrapped around Ol’ Blue Dog’s leg; (he got off, then couldn’t get back on). He spent much of his life on horseback as a cowboy and only fell off a few times. Joe is well remembered as a timber frame and log home builder, outfitter (his spike camps were killers), a sometimes mechanic and a musician. He loved his guitar. Above all he is remembered for his skill at breaking horses and as a working cowboy. He not only loved it, but also was one of the top hands of the late 20th and 21st centuries. He worked on ranches all over the United States and Mexico for over 40 years. He spent his final months in Page with his family and friends. Joe is survived by his parents, Frank Lewis and Sylvia Hall of Reserve, N.M.; son Frank Cain; three brothers, Carl Ragnoli of Tucson, Angelo “Frank” (Brenda) of Winslow and Jim (Stacie) Hall of Page; five sisters, Irene (Noble) Harris of Page, Jennifer Hall of Page, Margaret ‘Midge’ Harwood of Minot, N.D., Tracy (Eric) Boehme of Glendale and Dana (Tim) Bennett of Page. Joe is also leaving behind many greatly loved nieces and nephews, as well as his former wife Ann Coleman Hall and her family. His mother, Jeannie Thornton of Fairview, Ore., and sister Paula Jean Hall preceded him in death. Graveside services and a testimony and celebration of Joe’s life were held Oct. 25 in Seligman. Joe will be greatly missed by all who knew him. |
