I was honored to have been one of the last Brothers to have spent time with Brother Hall. While the difference in our ages was vast, the time I spent wth him will forever be a part of me. One of my favorite stories that he shared with me was about how he and his wife served spam for dinner when they received an unexpected visit from our Founder, A. Langston Taylor. A quiet man, Brother Hall's humility was only surpassed by his kind heart. He will be greatly missed by all in Sigma, but most especially by those of us who not only called him Brother, but Friend. Rest in Peace my dear Friend and Brother.
