I know Mr. Hall would be very proud of the family! Hopefully he and my father have had an opportunity to meet in heaven.

Dear Mrs. Hall, Tommy, Billy and particularly, Stacey -
I am very sorry it has taken me this long to learn of Mr. Hall's passing, and to let you know how sad I was to hear of it. I will always remember his wonderful and personal skills as a host, and his kindness and hospitality; the man just KNEW how to make people feel at home and comfortable, and how to enjoy a great meal!! Every meal I ever had at one of the Hall restaurants was flawless (well, if not the wait time), and I knew...

Jeanne, I am so sorry to hear of Bill's passing and for me to respond so late. I just found out today. As you know I first met you and Bill in 1976 in Sarasota and we have been friends ever since. Bill undoubtedly was one of the greatest hoteliers, restauranteurs, entrepreneurs, and hosts of our era. He was genuine, fun, socially adept and up to any challenge and a person to be counted on. He was a great leader and accomplished so much yet he was humble and cared deeply for his...

Dear Jeanne, Billy and Tommy,

I got up pn August 18th and something was wrong, I wasn't myself, I was sad, and I didn't know why, there seemed to be a dent in the universe I didn't know about that was impacting my day. Then, turning on my phone, I got the news, Bill Hall had passed. I felt it before I knew it. Bill Hall was that impactful. I and my entire family are heartbroken for your family.

I learned fundamental business and personnel lessons from Mr. Hall, as I called...

Judge Blatt first introduced me to Bill when he was managing a hotel at Hilton Head not far from the Judge’s house. From that day to this, I have never known anybody who brought more joy to more people than Bill Hall. I have always thought the most important thing a person can do in life is to make other people happy. Bill certainly did that every day.

In doing so, he gave us much more than his superb restaurants. He gave us the most precious thing he had to give: his family. ...

My heart goes out to the entire Hall family, not just Jeanne, Tommy, Billy and Stacy, but all of the employees and staff that were an extended family to the Halls. I have so many amazing memories of time spent at Halls with this family. I was lucky enough to spend time outside Halls with Bill and Jeanne also. This is a man who will be missed by so many people and in ways we cannot count. The community of Charleston has lost a treasure. Words cannot express how deeply he will be missed by...
