Edward Hall Obituary
Born on September 2, 1952, in Allentown, he was the son of the late Francis E. and Jeanette F. (Miller) Hall. Ed was a graduate of William Allen High School, Class of 1970. He honorably served in the U.S. Army from 1972 to 1974.
Ed dedicated 36 years of his career as a locomotive engineer with Conrail and Norfolk Southern. He was a life member of The American Legion Post 314 and the Slatington Skeet Club, where he found camaraderie and shared interests.
He is survived by his brother, John W. Hall, and John's companion, Maggie F., both of Coopersburg, PA, as well as many cousins.
Services will be private with full military honors. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Wounded Warrior Project in Ed's memory.
