Cyril Hall
1948-2021
It is with mixed emotions that we share that Cyril
Murray Hall passed into the presence of the Lord on Thursday, March
18, at the age of 73.
Cyril was born February 19, 1948 in Petitcodiac
NB. Growing up on his parents’ dairy farm he learned the
importance of hard work. He enjoyed going on milk deliveries with his
father, and eagerly looked forward to stopping for treats along the
way. He also grew a rich sense of humour which he carried throughout
his life. Most importantly, it was in a household that chose to serve
God first that his faith was fortified.
Cyril’s true passion was stock car
racing. He lived and breathed the sport and knew nearly every detail
about the history of drivers and their cars, both locally and back to
the origination of NASCAR and beyond. Family vacations were often
centered around racing somewhere, usually the Oxford 250 in Maine.
Purely a fan in his younger years, he got involved in the sport as an
announcer and spent 35 years behind the microphone. The excitement in
his voice was borne out of a sincere love for the action on the oval,
and his voice was heard at tracks throughout the Maritimes. He was
honoured as an inductee to the Maritime Motorsports Hall of Fame in
2018 for his contributions to the sport.
He was generous to a fault, always willing to help
someone in need of a ride, some cash or just a listening ear. He
occasionally delivered sermons, and had a love for Christ and
scripture. It is with this saving Hope that he knew his passing would
only be a temporary parting of ways.
Until they meet again, he will be missed by his
loving wife of 52 years Marilyn (Tingley), his sons Mike, Jim,
daughter Sue, grandchildren Murray, Kayla, Emily, Holly, Sasha,
Jericah, and Nathan and great-grandson Aaron. He is also survived and
will be missed by Sister Marion (Gerry), Sister-in-Law Esther,
Brothers-in-Law Ralph (Donna) and Roger, Sisters-in-Law Gloria
(Herbie), Joyce (Jerry), Marlene (Bob), and Janet. He is also survived
by his Aunt Orpha and many other family and friends far too numerous
to list by name.
Cyril was predeceased by his beloved son Jeff, his
parents Murray and Muriel, his sisters Geraldine and Sharon, brother
Vernon, Sister-in-Law Bonita, and Brother-in-Law Mark.
Family will receive friends and relatives
at the Salisbury Funeral Home, 3350 Route 106 (372-4800) on Monday,
March 22 from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 pm with Covid-19 restrictions in
place. A private family service will take place Tuesday, March 23 with
Rev. Dr. Terry Atkinson officiating. Interment at Middle
Cemetery at a later date.
If desired, memorial donations to the Cornerstone
Community Church would be appreciated by the family at
