b'UP 2019 State ReportMR Utah Update AMeet UPMRAUT married to a lovely lady, Board Member Roy Hall Roy Hall is 38 years old, and together they have 4 children. The Hall family lives in Cache Valley, a rural farming community filled with cows and approximately 1700 people in 26 square miles. The best thing about our community is that we are very self-reliant, states Roy, members of my com-munity volunteer to serve and help each other. People are very friendly and we stick together. Hall Oil was founded by Roys grandfather, who got into the petroleum business in 1947. Roys dad, Kimber bought the business in the early 1990s and continues to run one of the few small family-owned fuel/oil busi-nesses left in the State. Roy has worked in the business since he was just a little guy. I remember riding around with my dad and grandpa delivering fuel and oil to farms and dairies in and around Cache Valley. Back then, we would lift 55-gallon drums into the bed of the pick-up truck with the car hoist in the shop and then drop them out onto tires. I also remember many times riding to Salt Lake to pick up oil in the farm truck or with the cattle trailer.Roy enjoys being part of the dynamic and quickly evolving petroleum industry and being able to play a small role as it changes. Having the occasional opportu-nity to do it all, from ordering product, managing the inventory, taking customer orders and then delivering the products is what he enjoys most.As a board member, Roy hopes to be able to provide the association insights on issues that pertain to small busi-ness and the more rural aspects of our industry, espe-cially geared toward the rural Utah end users.If you dont think Roy is working hard enough, consider the fact that he has two full time jobs! In addition to working in the Petroleum Industry, Roy is also a police officer and has been one for the last 16 years. He lives by three simple mottos: haste makes waste, dont ever give up, and forgive and forget. When not working, Roy still finds time for shooting, hiking adventures, photography, riding and tinkering around with anything that has an engine. If I could travel anywhere, Id choose Botswana, states Roy. And if I had an enormous amount of money, which I hope I am never cursed with, Id make sure the needs of my family and friends are met and then take care of those who are in need.48 www.wpma.com / Summer 2019'
