Gregory "Greg" Hall was born on October 15th, 1948 in Coudersport, Pennsylvania to Leslie "Jake" and Helen Hall. He spent his childhood days with his sister Judy and brother Larry playing on the streets of Rubbertown, hunting at Andrew Settlement, camping at Kenzua, snowmobiling at the club and developing his love for Fly Fishing on Lyman Run.
After graduating from Coudersport High School, Greg went to Cleveland where he earned his business degree and then started a career in management of retail stores and store fixtures. He moved to Boston to continue his career and met his best friend for life Bill Narva.
On a work trip to Steubenville, OH in 1977, he met the love of his life, Eileen Kelly Hall, while opening two retail stores. They dated long distance for 3 years, got engaged in Switzerland and then married in 1980 in the Pocono Mountains. They welcomed the next two loves of his life, their children Kate and Jake, in the early eighties. Greg and Kelly raised them in Granby, Connecticut and then York, Pennsylvania.
He was dedicated to his career in all parts of the industry - from building and designing to production and delivery. He retired in 2016.
Greg loved fly fishing, boating with family, and lake life in general. His favorite memories were hunting with his Dad, brother and son; downhill skiing around the world; and fishing in Alaska. He could talk to anyone about Hall Family ancestry, honoring America's heroes, hummingbirds and all things woodworking. He regularly enjoyed jug wine in a plastic cup, on ice; wearing random things on his head and designing and making cutting boards for those he loved.
Greg is survived by his wife Eileen Kelly Hall, children Katie Carter (Andy) and Gregory "Jake" Hall (Joyce). He was blessed with five grandkids that were his pride and joy – Aubrey, Caroline, Owen, Jonah and Elliott. He also leaves his sister Judy Randall (Dick), brother Larry Hall (Gert), Bill Narva (Laurie) and family, as well as many beloved nieces and nephews.
There will be a celebration of life at Hall Funeral Home in Purcellville, VA on Saturday May 18th - visitation at 1pm and memorial service at 2pm. There will also be a visitation at Fickinger Funeral Home in Coudersport on Monday May 20th from 1-2 pm. He will be buried at Sweden Hill Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make something with your hands for someone you love or make a donation to something that matters to you in his name.
