At random: "I don't know why we have to be down here on this hold down exercise(at the 60th hour). Hell, I went through this on the Thresher (SS 200) during WW ll with a Nip Sea Going Tug hooked onto our screw guards, trying to lift our butts out of the water. They didn't get us then, and these Tin Cans (ours) ain't going to get us now." -- "Hambone" Hamilton SD1 (SS). "Hambone" made 13 war patrols on USS Remora, SS-487, uttered these words in July 1957 during a hold down exercise off Kobe Japan.

HALL, Gareld Edward "Jerry Hall", 79, of the 500 block of Bridge Drive, died May 20, 2009 peacefully in his home. Jerry Hall was born in Fowler, Indiana, the son of the late Mathias F. Hall and Margaret Bowman Hall. He retired from the United States Navy after 24 years of honorable service. He began his military career on May 4, 1948 and retired on May 4, 1972. Jerry often shared the story of waiting in the dark in Fowler, Ind. for the bus to take him to the recruiting office in Lafayette. "Me and a squirrel", he recalled. The squirrel darted into the darkness and Jerry stepped onto the bus. His first sub was the Segundo followed by the Tullibee, the Swordfish, the Pomodom and the Thomas Jefferson. They primarily patrolled the Pacific with stops in Australia, China, Japan and surveillance in the Barents Sea of our Russian friends. In 1953, Jerry saw his first shore duty at the Naval Correspondence Command Center in Brooklyn. Jerry remembers vividly that he was one of eighteen guys in a sea of women - 230 civilian women and 38 Waves, and among those Waves was the one who stole his heart and has kept it all these years, his beloved Dottie. They have been married for fifty three years. Jerry also retired from the Virginian Pilot after twenty four years. In 1972, after retiring from the Navy, he joined the VPLS to begin a second career. He began his career managing a district at Five Points in Norfolk, managed the paper handlers and mailers when the new plant at Greenwich opened, and retired as Circulation Director in May of 1993. His career at VPLS spanned both the circulation and production departments, but he will be remembered by most as a submariner - the posture, the stride, the confidence, the iron will, the commitment, the warmth, the countless tales of his days in the Fleet. Story teller extraordinaire. Jerry Hall loved to golf, and in later days, he enjoyed riding his bike around his community in Bonita Springs where he and Dottie spent half of their year enjoying the sun. Jerry often said "another day in paradise" when describing his treasured Bonita Springs home. He will be sorely missed by all of the snow birds living in Fairway Dunes. Jerry Hall was a loving husband, father and friend, who was devoted to his family and his country. He was much loved by his wife, Dottie W. Hall; his children, Matt and his wife, Debbie, Lorrie, Dottie, Gareld and his wife, Niki; and grandchildren, Elizabeth, Sydni and Trey. In lieu of flowers and remembrances, the family requests that donations be made to your favorite charity in honor of Jerry. A memorial service will be conducted on Friday, May 29, 11 a.m. at St. Luke's Catholic Church, 2304 Salem Road, Virginia Beach, Va. Burial will be private. H.D. Oliver Funeral Apartments Chesapeake Chapel is handling arrangements. Online condolences may be made to the family at www.hdoliver.com.

Growing up in the Rose Park area of Salt Lake City, Dennis graduated from West High School. He served in the US Navy from 1965 to 1969 as a submariner aboard the USS Irex (SS-482).

He retired from the profession that he loved so much, hard rock mining, after serving as a special investigator for the US Dept. of Labor, Mine Safety and Health Administration for many years. Dennis was preceded in death by wife, Aurla Jerry Palmer and is survived by his current wife Sharon Palmer, daughter Amy Dzubiak, son Mason J. Palmer, sisters, brothers, grandchildren and extended family. A casual memorial service will be held for Dennis J. Palmer at 1:00 p.m., Saturday May 30, at Crosspoint Church, located at 4490 South 3200 West, in West Valley City. The service will be followed by a gathering of family and friends to reminisce, reconnect and celebrate the memory of this man and father of unforgettable character and integrity. We would like to give a special thank you to the staff now located at the IMC Heart Clinic, for all the many years of help and support. Dad would not have seen his grandkids without you!
