      Ron is survived by 5 children, Sammantha Hallmark Seals of Tooele UT, Bruce Hallmark of Wenatchee, Dr Robert J Hallmark of San Antonio, Texas, Theresa A Felt of Park City UT and Alan L Hallmark of Robbinsville NJ. He was a proud grandfather of 15 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren.
      Ron was born in Walla Walla on March 25, 1930, the youngest son of Ivy "Bud" and Luella Hallmark. Ron attended Washington Grade School and graduated from Walla Walla High School in June 1948.
      Ron worked for the Post Office for many years before taking a position with the US Army Corps of Engineers.

He was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He helped to build houses and helped construct a beautiful church on South Second Avenue in Walla Walla. Although Ron lived in many places around the world, he always thought of Walla Walla as his home.
