| Published by The Miner on Jan. 22, 2026 - Kingman, Arizona - Larry Ralph Hall, 87, longtime resident of Kingman, passed away the morning of Jan. 5, 2026. Larry was born in Payette, Idaho on Jan. 17, 1938, to Ralph Wade and Margaret Nina Hall. Larry spent his younger years in and around Boise, Idaho and later served his country by joining the U.S. Navy in 1956. He met and married Ruth Ann Elizabeth Weiler in May of 1957 while stationed in Long Beach, California. After his service was completed, Larry found employment in the grocery store business. Larry and Ruth settled in Boise then moved to Casa Grande, Arizona, later relocating to Michigan before finally landing in Kingman, Arizona completely by accident in 1963. Kingman was just supposed to be a snack stop on their way back to Idaho. After stopping at the local grocery store in downtown Kingman Larry chatted up the store manager and he ended up walking back out to his wife with a job offer. Ruth, not a huge fan of the desert, told him to find her a tree to sit under and he did, establishing the family home in the Hualapai Mountains soon thereafter. Although he was supporting his family working in the grocery business, he found his passion in carpentry and construction. He spent many years in the construction industry as a laborer and foreman and made many friends and acquaintances along the way. One notable project he worked on was the relocation of the famous London Bridge in Lake Havasu. Larry worked on the building of I-40 and later installed many of the original cell towers in Mohave County. He was up for anything and could problem solve and build almost anything. Larry is survived by his daughter, Connie Fitzsimmons (John) of Kingman, his sister, Kay Haws (Mike) of Snowflake, Arizona, 11 grandchildren; Craig Hall, Brittney Angeli, Joshua Fitzsimmons, Tallen Fitzsimmons, Trey Fitzsimmons, Connor Fitzsimmons, Carissa Fitzsimmons, Mikayla Humke, Elizabeth Hall all in Kingman, along with Kyleigh Hjelmberg in Minnesota, and Shelby Hall of Snowflake. Larry is also survived by his eight great-grandchildren which include Autumn, Ashton, Addy, Allison, Lucas, Jaxon, Arabella and Elijah. Larry was predeceased by his parents Ralph and Margaret, his wife Ruth, Lori-infant daughter, Craig-young son, Larry Jr-son and Terri-daughter. Larry will be remembered as the life of the party; many fun times were had in the rec room he built. He had the ability to connect with others through deep conversation and had compassion for others. If he was able to help you, he would, no questions asked. Dad, Papa, you will be missed immensely. No worries - we have it from here. The family will have an informal celebration of life on Feb 21, 2 p.m., at the family home in the Hualapais. All who knew him and want to spend some time reminiscing are welcome to attend. Please contact his daughter, Connie, cfitzsimmons206@gmail.com, with any inquiries. |
