WAYNE “Longhall” Hall

“I was born; I blinked; and it was over.”

It pains to admit, but apparently, I have passed away.  Everyone told me it would happen one day, but that’s simply not something I wanted to hear, much less experience.  I made 86 years without acting my age so now I wonder how I got so damn old so quick.

My parents Lawrence and Doris (née Walz) and older sister Darlene celebrated my birth. I was introduced to all as “Lawrence Wayne Hall”.

SEABROOK

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Kenneth James Seabrook on Saturday, July 20th, 2024, after a courageous battle with cancer, at the age of 77 years.

Ken loved spending time with his kids, grandkids and visits with the pups. He took pride in his yard, meticulously pruning his cedars and trimming the hedges.  Traveling with friends to warm destinations was special.  He could hardly wait for winter to ice fish with his buddies, with lots of laughs and good stories.
