William "Bill" Hall, 99, passed away January 7th, 2024. Bill was born on November 6th, 1924, and grew up on the south side of Des Moines. At the age of 17, he joined the Navy and served in WWII. After his service, he moved back to Des Moines, where he met his first wife, Nina. They had their daughter, Ruth, then moved and raised her in Waukee, IA. He was a hardworking man, and welder at Des Moines Steele until he retired.
He was a deeply religious man, who loved the Lord with all his heart, and spent many years serving at Fort Des Moines Open Bible. Bill was a blessing to all that knew him, whether it be through his kind words and prayers, or his gentle sense of humor and acts of service.
