Family and friends in Phoenix, Arizona, and Carmel, Indiana, are mourning following the passing of Larry A Hall on January 6, 2026. At the age of 80, Larry departed after a prolonged battle with Alzheimer’s disease, leaving behind a legacy shaped by deep familial devotion and quiet resilience.
Born on June 17, 1945, Larry grew up in an era that valued commitment and community, traits he carried throughout his journey. His early years laid the foundation for a life centered on relationships, education, and personal growth. Attending Butler University, he became a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity, forging friendships and experiences that influenced his approachable and loyal character.
In 1968, Larry married Susan Voigt Hall, beginning a partnership that spanned nearly six decades and formed the cornerstone of his existence. Together, they built a nurturing home, raising four children—Kristen McClue, married to Bret; Steven Hall; Casey Simmons; and Amy Sandberg, married to Josh—while also welcoming foster son Sergio Valenti into their family. This blended household highlighted Larry’s capacity for expansive love and guidance.
Larry took immense pride in his role as grandfather to 14 grandchildren, cherishing moments that brought generational joy and continuity. He is also survived by his sister, Cindy Kirles, while preceded in death by his sister, Linda Mead. These familial ties provided mutual strength, especially during his later years as Alzheimer’s progressed, underscoring the profound support network he both gave to and received from loved ones.
