MARBLEHEAD – Captain William Keith Hall, born February 10,1950 in Wilmington, Delaware returned to the sky on January 8, 2025 with his loving family by his side.
Keith grew up spending his time watching planes fly overhead at Woodlawn Park saying "I don't know where they're going, I just want to be on them." Those dreams became reality upon his graduation from the University of Delaware, he earned his Naval Aviator wings and began a 30 year journey of soaring above the clouds with the Navy and as an international airline captain with Delta. Upon joining Delta, Keith and his wife Linda settled in Marblehead, MA and called Watson St home for 30 years where they raised their son Max and some of their many Border Collies.
In 2007, Keith was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, embarking him on a new life's mission. Never once complaining of his diagnosis, Keith, who had experienced first hand the benefits of exercise and his Parkinson's symptoms, founded Parkinson's Fitness, a non-profit dedicated to helping those in the North Shore area fight Parkinson's via free exercise and community oriented classes.
Keith is survived by his wife Linda of Salem, son Max and fiancée Annie of Boston, and mother-in-law Joyce Nolan of Wilmington, DE. He is pre deceased by his parents, Bill and Virginia Hall of Wilmington, DE and father-in-law, Gerald Nolan of Wilmington, DE
