5. Family biographical sketch, source unknown: "Charles H. (Jack) Hales. A glimpse into the life of Jack Hales as remembered by his family. He had a keen sense of humor and love to hear and tell good jokes. He was a shy man who found it difficult to meet new people, but once he reached out his hand in friendship, you had a friend for life. He found peace and comfort in listening to country western music. While in the Army, he was often heard singing 'Don't Fence Me In.' As a young man he was a gifted athlete excelling in baseball, football, basketball and track. He competed in and won the 'All Around Athlete for Ogden City Award' while still in junior high school. Baseball was his passion. After his marriage, he continued to play baseball on the Kammeyer Sporting Goods Team and always enjoyed watching a good baseball game on TV. During his later years he liked playing golf and working at Ben Lomond Golf Course where he could be outside talking to people and enjoying life. He loved the outdoors and looked forward to hunting, fishing and camping with family and friends. He especially found pleasure in taking his grandchildren on outings. He married Ruth McLean on November 30, 1937, in a double wedding ceremony with Bill and Maxine Sneddon. He felt he needed to prove himself to his mother and father-in-law and work tirelessly to provide them love, care and support. He was affectionately called 'Lad' by his father-in-law. He was an ambitious man usually working two jobs to provide his family with 'extra' things, such as, wonderful vacations. He was a civilian worker at Hill Air Force Base for 30 years. He put his heart and soul into every project he was given. He traveled for the Air Force often and usually was called under emergency situations to go to less than desirable sites. He accepted all assignments willingly even those to Vietnam during their summer and at the height of the War and to Montana during the coldest part of the winter. In 1972 he retired and began the next phase of his life. He and his 'Lifelong Companion' started down the retirement path to enjoy each other and seek new adventures. In 1990 he was offically introduced to Parkinson's Disease. This disease slowly began robbing him of precious gifts - independence and freedom. He was forced to rely on others to take care of his basic needs. Ruth, his lover, friend and eventually total care giver, became is primary link to the outside world. His last wish was to go to Yuma, Arizona one last time. He died there peacefully in his sleep Tuesday, November 19, 1996. His pain is now over."
