Claude Hall Obituary
Snow Hill-Claude Elmore Hall Jr., 75, of Snow Hill passed away Wednesday, Aug. 6, 2014, at his home. Born Aug. 5, 1939, in Oak Hall, he was the son of Agnes T. Hall and the late Claude E. Hall Sr. He is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Joanne Townsend Hall; two sons, David Townsend Hall and wife, Terra; Douglas Lee Hall and wife, Stephanie; three granddaughters, Sydney Marie Hall, Kelsey Nicole Hall and Lauren Elisabeth Hall; sister and brother-in-law, Barbara and Jim Richardson; niece, Cindy Ryan and nephew, Jimmy Richardson. In addition to his father, he was also preceded in death by grandson, Aaron Lee Hall. Claude graduated from Snow Hill High School with the Class of 1957. After graduation he was signed by the Baltimore Orioles where he spent two seasons in their organization. Upon returning home he began a 37-year career at Moore Business Forms followed by six years employment by Worcester County. Claude was an active member of the Snow Hill Lions Club, Whatcoat United Methodist Church and a life member of the Snow Hill Volunteer Fire Department. He was inducted into the Eastern Shore Baseball Hall of Fame in 2011. A big part of his life was spent working with the youth of Snow Hill. Chi-Rho Youth Group and Snow Hill Little League were two such organizations. Following retirement, Claude began volunteering at Snow Hill Elementary School when his first of three granddaughters entered kindergarten. Claude will be remembered by his unique way of reaching out to kids and making them feel special.
