Ram Scout Hall Has Fatal Heart Attack

Ram scout Charlie Hall suffered a heart attack at the team’s Cal State Fullerton training camp Friday and later died at St. Jude’s Hospital in Fullerton. He was 62.

“A good guy,” Coach John Robinson said. “I knew him when he coached for John McKay at USC (1960-65). He was a good friend of everyone.”

Hall, whose home was in Midlothian, Va., is survived by his wife Joy and daughters Catherine and Jennifer.

Hall emerged from his room at the University Village dormitory at 10:30 Friday morning complaining of chest pains to another scout, Randy Tyson.

Fullerton Fire Dept. paramedics were called and arrived in about eight minutes. They stabilized Hall, who was conscious.

The initial diagnosis was a mild heart attack, but Hall died at 12:30 p.m.

Hall played football at Whittier College and coached at Bellflower High School, Cerritos College and USC.

Services are scheduled for 2:30 Tuesday at Rose Hill Cemetery in Whittier. The family requested that donations be made to the Heart Fund.
