Pike, NH - Richard Bartlett Hall, 93, died peacefully at his home on June 20, 2021.

Richard was born in Pike, NH on February 7, 1928 to Ellis and Ruth (Snell) Hall. He attended Pike Grammar School and graduated from Haverhill Academy in 1946. Richard served as a Medic in the United States Army from 1953-1955. On October 5, 1957, he married Shirley Eichhorn.

From the time they were small children, Richard farmed and managed the livestock business alongside his brother, Howard, at the family farm until Howard passed in 2001. As a youth, he held summer jobs at the Lake Tarleton Club in Piermont, NH, working as a golf caddy and a driver transporting guests between the Pike train station and the Club. In the 1960's, in addition to his daily farming chores, he operated a school bus service that served the Haverhill school district and provided occasional private charters. He especially enjoyed driving the kids from Kingswood Camp to various activities around New Hampshire, whether it was to the seacoast or to the mountains.

Richard loved taking trips to the Maine coast with his family. He enjoyed playing basketball and baseball and was a fan of the Red Sox, Celtics and Patriots. After he retired, he joined Always Fit Athletic Club in Woodsville, NH. The friendships he formed with his fellow fitness enthusiasts were precious to him.
