Mr. Hall and his late wife Connie were my neighbors for many years. He was a funny, generous man, full of stories which he liked to share whenever you started a conversation. He loved his children and was especially proud of all his grandchildren. He was very much ‘Old School’, a gentleman of a bygone time. My hearty condolences to all the family.
Sue Garreis
So sorry to learn of Bill’s loss. He was a great “over the fence” neighbor when I lived at Autumn Horseshoe. I hope the many memories you have of Bill are a comfort.

The Little Sisters express their sympathy to the family of Bill Hall. He was a good friend (along with his wife Connie). Although all the Sisters are new and did not personally know Bill, the other Associates shared the stories of the loyalty he had for our Mission. We thank him for remembering us to receive donations in his memory. We pray he now rests in God’s loving embrace. God bless, The Community of Little Sisters of the Poor, Newark Delaware
