Vance was born to his parents, Arthur C Hale and Bessie L Benton in Fort Worth, Texas. Vance spent his early adulthood serving his country, and retired from the military in 1969. He was fond of telling stories of these times, and of those of his youth to anyone would listen. His tales became legendary among family, and friends who enjoyed hearing about his many adventures again, and again. We all loved hearing them as much as he liked telling them. He loved his family, and they loved him very dearly. Even though we would have loved to have him longer, Vance's time in this world came to an end early on the morning of October 14th 2017, he was ready to move on to his next adventure. He is survived by his children, Carolyn Hutcherson, Gary Hale and wife Vilma Hale, James Hale and wife Anna Hale, Vanessa Teel and Husband Mark Teel, Vance Hale Jr and Wife Manessa, Arthur (AC) Hale and his wife Cindy Reeder.
