Waid Warren Hall

Waid Warren Hall, 89, of Etna California, passed on to be with the Lord on March 29, 2017. He leaves behind his beloved wife of 44 years, Clydeen Hall, his younger sister Margaret Shirley Funke and his 3 children, Linda Woolley, Shirley Sevier, and David Hall with spouse Cindi. He dearly loved his 5 grandchildren, Deanna Wohlrab with spouse David, Daniel Woolley with spouse Kathy, Heather Shaw with spouse Michael, Jacob Hall with spouse Colby, and Daniel Hall. He was very proud of his 6 great grandchildren, Katlyn (16), Nathan (13), Tyler (11), Natalie (10), Jayden (9), and Isabelle (1). Waid was born in Cisco, Texas and moved to Oklahoma shortly thereafter. He hitchhiked his way to California at the young age of 16 and temporally settled in Salinas. He spent a short time in the Merchant Marines and then the US Army during WWII. After the military, he met his first wife Betty Scarpino Hall and raised 3 children. He worked hard all his life and was a very talented sheet metal worker and carpenter. After a back injury, he changed careers and opened a Chicken Delight franchise in Milpitas. His wife, Betty passed away in 1972 and Waid then decided to sell the Chicken Delight. Looking for love again, some friends set him up on a blind date and that is when he became immediately smitten with Clydeen Peterson. They were married on March 31, 1974. While looking for new opportunities he applied to Stanford University where he is famously known for helping students with their time capsules. After 14 years he retired from Stanford. Shortly thereafter, Waid and Clydeen were introduced to Scott Valley where they moved to the small town of Etna. They have loved living in Etna for the past 22 years. Waid was a faithful soft-spoken soldier of the Lord and served as a deacon and an elder at the First Baptist Church of Saratoga, Crossroads Bible Church in San Jose, and Scott Valley Berean Church in Etna. He had a heart for missions and served on the mission committee for many years. Services will be held at the Scott Valley Berean Church, 134 Church Street Etna, Ca 96027 on Saturday April 8, 2017 at 1:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made to Samaritan Purse at PO Box 3000 Boone, NC 28607 or online at samaritanspurse.org.
