Bill Hall, passed away peacefully at his home in Tottenham on Sunday February 12,2023, at the age of 94, surrounded by those he cherished. He was the loving husbandof wife Neta to whom he was married to for 58 years; Father to Billy (late Sandy),Norman (Laurie-Anne), Son-in-Law Todd and his doting Daughter and biggest fan, Connie.
Bill worked much of his adult years in the produce department at Loblaws Supermarkets. He kept in touch with many of his former colleagues and was very proud to have worked there. At the tender age of 11, his Father passed and his Mother took the boys on holiday to Shadow Lake. The lure of this Lake draws many to return. He then purchased a cottage on the Lake followed by a Summer Resort he named ‘Shadow Lake Cottages’ (formerly known as ‘Gold Rock’) with his Brother-in-Law, Jimmy, wife Neta, and Daughter Connie in tow. Shadow Lake was the only place in the entire world that Bill ever had any desire to travel to. This was his place of solitude, puttering, fishing and chatting with neighbours who became life-long friends. Bill was a humorous, kind, polite and caring man who touched so many. The well-being of all peoples mattered to him. Family, friends and even mere acquaintances felt that they were always ‘important’ when chatting with Bill. Many, whom he (informally) mentored, referred to him as their “2nd Dad” and his many Nieces and Nephews, loved their “Uncle Bill”. His later new-found roles and titles of Grandpa, Great Grandpa, and Poppy were something he could never keep straight when having to recite them, but certainly ever so much, delighted in.
As Bill’s cognitive abilities began to decline, those who knew him best, supported him in caring and unconditional ways. Anyone who could still make connection with him experienced feelings that were magical. Having outlived an ‘artificial’ heart valve by 4 years, one could say he was on borrowed time. Bill never took time for granted (nor did he even take naps!). He will be forever missed by so many.
Special thanks to his Caregivers Martha and Adriana, the PSW’s at St. Elizabeth, Community Care Nurses, First Responders as well as Rod & Laura at Abrams. Their professionalism, patience, empathy, care and kindness, was second to none. As Bill laid down to sleep, be rest assured he would have been “God blessing you all”.
His wishes were private cremation followed by a Celebration of Life (to be further announced). Bill didn’t want “folks to visit him if and when they were sad” (his words). His final resting will be very close to Shadow Lake.
Condolences may be offered at Rod Abrams Funeral Home, Tottenham. Donations to the Alzheimers Society and/or the Heart & Stroke Foundation are appreciated.
