Thomas Hall

Thomas Richard Hall was born on June 30, 1947 in Houston Texas Mr. Hall is survived by his wife, of 51 years, Patricia Anne, their son Brian Russell, their daughter Kimberly Gail Kittrell and her husband Justin Lucas Kittrell along with his grandchildren. 16-year-old Annabelle Rose Kittrell and 12-year-old Suzy Elizabeth Kittrell. He also has a younger sister, Paula Bubeck, who resides in Katy, Texas. He is predeceased by his parents, Lawrence Robert Hall from Woodbury, New Jersey and Sadie Esther (Stubbs) Hall from Magee, Mississippi and his younger brother, Russell Dean Hall from Houston, Texas.

Tom, was a proud Texan and devoted Cowboy fan. He had followed in his grandfather and father's footsteps and was honored to serve in the Navy during the Vietnam conflict. He again followed his dad moving to Lakeland, Florida in 1974 where he lived for over 40 years and became a Bucs and Seminole fan after Dallas' NFL decline.

He started training in the electrical field leading into his over two decades of employment at IMC-Agrico's Norlan Mine facility in Bartow. After retiring from there, he worked for local electrical contractors for several years and then started Trinity Multi Services which fulfilled his longstanding dream of self-employment.

Along with watching football and NASCAR, his passions included taking his family on traveling adventures, golfing, hunting, gardening, and enjoying Walker Texas Ranger & Columbo. Tom loved his pickup trucks through the years and made sure he displayed a Texas Flag sticker with the warning "Don't Mess with Texas" in the back window. He was ever fixing, ever remolding, ever building, ever helping friends and volunteering and always dedicated himself to his family and how to help them succeed in whatever they were doing.

In 2018 the Halls did what a lot of boomers do and that is to sell out and pack up to follow their grandchildren's move to Dallas, GA. At age 78 Tom made a peaceful passing and transition into his savior, Jesus's arms ending a long journey of Alzheimer's disease at The Harbor nursing home. He left an eternal mark on several lives, some that had already gone before him. We that remain will continue to remember his impact on our lives and his attempt to leave a place better than he found it. That is what Tom did, and he is truly being missed.

A memorial service will be held some time in October and Tom will be buried with veteran's honors at the Georgia National Cemetery in Canton, GA.
