Herbert Paul Schall passed way on January 6, 2020 at the age of 88.  He was born in August of 1932 in New York City, the son of German immigrants, Hedwig and Joseph Schall.  He graduated from William Cullen Bryant High School in 1949.  He loved farming as opposed to city life and spent many summers working on farms in upstate New York.  Herb later joined the Air Force, during the  Korean War, and became a Radar Technician.  While in training, he met his first wife, Gertrude Saucier, who he later married in January of 1953.

After four years in the Air Force, he went to work as a Technical Rep for Gilfillan Brothers,  which he sent him around the country.  After working with them for eleven years, he became a Federal Employee, working for the USAF.  He moved from Rome, NY to Kansas City where his first wife, Gertrude passed away from cancer at the age of 39.  Herb later married Esther "Cris" Crisel and moved to Collinsville, IL.  He spent his last eleven years working at the Pentagon in Washington, DC.  There, he managed the worldwide distribution of Air Force Air Traffic Control Radar and Instrument landing systems as well as overseas classified systems. In 1991, he retired after 28 years of Federal Service to the farming life he always dreamed of, in Holden, Missouri, where he lived out his final years.

Survivors include his five children: David Schall, Stephen Schall, Marie Kennedy, Donna Robertson and Bruce Crisel; several grandchildren and great grandchildren.  In addition to his first wife, Gertrude, Herb was preceded in death by his wife, Cris and a daughter, Sara Elaine McDonald.
