Harry Theodore Hall Jr was born October 13, 1942 in Natick, Massachusetts to Harry T. and Olive (Thorne) Hall. He is survived by his wife Faye Hall of Clermont and five children along with their spouses: Vallei and Leslie Ramey of Clermont, Christopher Hall of Palm Coast, Kevin and Kathie Hall of Ocoee, Terry and Loretta Hall of Groveland, and Kali and Erick Pino of Ocoee. He leaves eight grandchildren: Johnathan Ramey of Orlando, Hailey Pino, Emieona, Amora and Honesty Hall, Nicole Connon of Palm Coast, Jason Miller of Vail, Colorado and Suzanne Cikanek of Portland, Oregon. He is survived by a brother, Calvin Hall, of Plainville, Massachusetts, and five nieces and nephews: Wendy Hall, Erica Huzco-Hall, Thomas Hall, Michael Hall, all of Plainville and Kimberly Barnes of North Attleboro, Massachusetts. Harry married Faye Slaney on September 22, 1962. He worked as an electrician at Dean Junior College in Franklin, Massachusetts. The family moved to Florida in 1978, settling in the Flagler Beach area. Harry worked rebuilding gasoline nozzles and then later worked in the trucking industry. After becoming disabled, he settled in Ocoee nearer to most of his children. Harry was a devoted husband, father, son-in-law and member of his community. He was loved and will be greatly missed by his fellow residents at the apartment complex where he lived. He enjoyed caring for older ones by performing various handy-man duties and made it a point to visit sick friends in the hospital. Harry was one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. He had absolute faith in the Bible’s teachings on the condition of the dead and what hope they would have in the future. He helped others learn this wonderful hope by having an active share in preaching. He knew that while the living know they will die, the “dead know nothing at all” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) and when he died, he would be simply sleeping in death. Harry believed what Jesus taught when he resurrected Lazarus as recorded for us in John chapter 5. Jesus told the people not to be amazed at seeing Lazarus come out alive after having been dead for days, that one day “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out” just as Lazarus had done. (John 5:28, 29) The Bible teaches that Jehovah God is eager to bring back to life those who have died. The faithful man Job said to Jehovah “You will call and I will answer you. You will have a longing for the work of your hands.” (Job 14: 14, 15) Harry was certain Jehovah will resurrect him healthy and vibrant to a paradise earth, reunited with his family. He knew that one day, the whole earth will be a paradise like Adam and Eve once enjoyed and that the “righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it.” (Psalm 37: 29) Harry believed Jesus’ words at Matthew 5:5 “Happy are the mild-tempered, since they will inherit the earth.” Harry’s family shared his faith and belief in the promises God makes in the Bible and in what Jesus said. A memorial service is being held Saturday, October 24th at 2pm at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 8674 A.D. Mims Rd., Orlando, FL., 32818.
