He was born in Nida, OK on March 21, 1912.  "Brother Hall" was well 
known in the Bakersfield community as the Pastor of the Pentecostal 
Church of God at 36th and L Street from 1954-1961.

Brother Hall's influence was significant in the lives of many 
ministers, members of his congregations and other residents of the

Bakersfield 1954-1961, El Cajon 1961-1978, and Buena Park from 1978-
1992, where he retired at the age of 80.

Rev. Hall was preceded in death by his wife of 65 years, Thelma 
Louise Hall and grandson, Joshua Hall.  Rev. Hall is survived by 
sons, Donald R. Hall of Morro Bay, CA and Wonnie Eugene Hall of Las 
Vegas, NV.  His grandchildren include Terri, Scot, Gary, Bob, Jon, 
Chris, Rebecca, Elizabeth and Andrew and 17 great grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the
