Henry D. Hall, age 88, passed away peacefully on February 14, 2020 at home in Murrells Inlet, SC.
Henry was born in Holden, MA where he lived for 49 years before moving to Dillsburg, PA in 1979.
He was one of the original founders of Holding Heating Co. Inc., where he worked for 30 years. He was an active member of several trade organizations: MA Service Managers, Better Home Heat Council, and National Oil Fuel Institute, from which he was awarded a silver certificate for outstanding service.
During the Korean War, Henry served in the U.S. Navy on board the destroyer William M. Wood DD715 and was a proud veteran. In later years he drove school buses for special needs children and worked 22 years for Neil’s Supermarket chain, where he was affectionately known as “the Sunday manager.”
One of the highlights of his life was being chosen during the 1970s oil shortage to serve on the MA Governor’s Energy Council. All members of the council were invited to a dinner at Fenway Park with the Boston Red Sox. Some of the notable members of the team in attendance were Carlton Fisk, Yaz and Johnny Pesky.
Henry is survived by his loving wife of 64 years, Lois A. Hall, a son, Stephen Hall Sr. and daughter, Kathleen Houck, all of Murrells Inlet; a sister, Bertha Stowell of Holden; 5 grandchildren, Stephen Hall Jr. of Culpepper, VA, Curtis Hall of Nashville, TN, Christina Hall of Panama City Beach, FL, Thomas Houck of Homosassa, FL and Rachel Digrugilliers of Mechanicburg, PA; and 3 great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his sister, Mary Horstman of Holden.
Services will be held at St. Michael’s Catholic Church, 542 Cypress Avenue, Murrells Inlet, SC 29576 on Tuesday, February 25, 2020 at 10 am.
