Richard "Rich" Hall's Obituary
Richard “Rich” Hall, age 64 of Fredonia, KS passed away August 20, 2020 at Fredonia Regional Hospital.
Rich was born June 25, 1956 in Fredonia, KS to Dale and Ruth (Hoyt) Hall. He was raised in Fredonia alongside 4 siblings, and graduated from Fredonia High School in the class of 1974. Rich’s dad passed when he was a young man and so he adopted Ernie Erbe as a role model, who ended up being a great friend for life.

Rich had many jobs during his life, from farm hand, to EMT-I-D, to most recently store associate at Orscheln Farm and Home in Independence. He loved to watch westerns, especially John Wayne movies, but his true hobby was helping other people. It didn’t matter what you needed help with, Rich was there.
