Bruce Hall Obituary

Bruce Hall, a lover and admirer of nature and pioneer of brilliant adventures, passed away at his home in Bayfield, CO on May 12, 2016. Those of us who were fortunate enough to have known Bruce in any facet truly know what an incredible human being he was. Bruce was a gifted artisan and talented craftsmen, a well-read student of all things, an incredible father, friend, and mentor, and a well-respected hunter and sportsmen. He will be missed by many.

Bruce Hall was a great storyteller; easily done with such a profound breadth of life experiences. He lived an extraordinary life and accomplished amazing things. He was the true definition of work ethic and sweat equity.

Bruce was not a religious man, but he did love pig roasts and beer. As such, we will be having an informal, Hawaiian-attire pig roast, bring your own beer -cans only- celebration of life. Bruce's ashes will be spread prior to the celebration of life; please visit him at the family graveyard at your own convenience.

The Celebration of life will be held at Bruce's house on June 25th 12:00pm. All are welcome to bring a side dish if so desired. If you are coming from out of town please camp out for a couple of days. The location is 49346 Highway 160 East; Bayfield, CO 81122.

Bruce, How many times we've wanted to call you, just to hear your voice and to hear a story, which you told so well. It was always filled with knowledge and laughter and to look forward to our hunt and our time together.
True friend, you are missed, but we have your memories and you will always be in our prayers and thoughts.
Love Ya Big Guy,

Bruce war für mich ein talentierter Handwerker und ein ein groer Jäger, Die Erlebnisse mit ihm waren für mich sensationell und unvergesslich - ein beeindruckendes Stück Wild West für mich.

Bruce was a great friend in so many ways he will be missed as a friend and in his story telling and guidance in hunting, but I know he will be sending the big one our way during elk hunting. We were all blessed with his knowledge and laughter.
Love Ya Big Guy!!
