- From Morreen Hansen, Oct. 2017:
William Patrick Hall, b 15 Jun 1947, Whittier, Los Angeles, CA, married 10 Jan 1969, Colusa, Colusa, CA, to Robin Gail Meyer b 1953; divorced 19 Mar 1976; Pat died 12 May 2003, Concord, Contra Costa, CA
This death hit us hard, I have not yet put together a genealogy for Pat. I think my brother Mike has all his papers.
I know Pat served in the Air Force during Vietnam, he worked on computers. When he left the Air Force he went to work for a major bank in California and helped to set up the first banking computer network. Mike tells me Pat's work was really important, that he was a computer pioneer and was instrumental in creating those early networks.
Pat was a true computer nerd, stayed at the office for days, often sleeping under his desk. He neglected his health and became diabetic.
When Pat was not working on computers, he read extensively, especially philosophy and history. He enjoyed classical music and played string instruments. Although he was the youngest of us all, he was the first to die.
His wife took the children and returned to her parents' home, a large ranch in central California.
Children: Stephen Christopher Hall; Lydia Jennifer Hall
We have lost contact with Stephen and Lydia, but the last I heard from them, Stephen was not married, Lydia married someone named Davis, first name unknown.
Pat's wife hated rainy Seattle, they lived here only briefly. The two children have always lived in California, Pat lived in California and Arizona.
