| July 18, 2017 TexasTransplant Men's 70 516 posts | Carey Hall Carey Hall died Sunday. Carey was a long-time player with the Dallas Spurs, first on their 60+ team and more recently on the 65+ team. If you played tournament ball in the Texas area, you probably knew or played against Carey. Like most of us on this board, he loved the game. Since his recent knee replacements on both knees, his joy for the game increased because he could run the bases like a young man again. Beyond his involvement in softball, Carey had an accomplished career. He retired as a Lt. Colonel in the Air Force and held a Doctorate in Pharmacology. Over and above his softball and career accomplishments, he was just a super nice guy. He always had a smile and a joke. I never heard Carey say a negative word about another person. Rest in Peace, Carey. I hope they're playing two in heaven today. |

| July 19, 2017 Jethro Men's 60 60 posts | One more thing about Carey, as a retired Air Force man myself, he was truly a professional on and off duty! |
| July 19, 2017 txnighttrain 120 posts | I played in a day league with Carey. He was a great guy and treated people right. He had to quit playing ball when his wife had a stroke, so he could care for her. I admire that he held his wife in such high esteem. He then later had a stroke himself and unfortunately never recovered from it. I will miss him! |
