HALL, Bruce

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bruce Hall on Monday, May 20, 2024, at Westhills Care Centre, St. Catharines, at the age of 89 years. Beloved husband of the late Lois Hall (January 21, 2017). Devoted father of Steven Hall (Glenda) and Kevin Hall. Proud grandfather of Erin (Ron) Brouse, Brandy (Travis) Kroker and Brittany Hall (David). Great grandfather of Harrison, Winston, and Liliana and uncle of Cheryl Fraser (Dave), Colleen Smith and Diane Smith and Ross Harris. Bruce will also be fondly remembered by extended family and friends. Predeceased by his sister Allison Smith (Tommy).

Bruce was hired by the Niagara Region when it was first formed, after having worked for the City of St Catharines for a short time. He spent his entire 30+ year career at one of three pollution control facilities (Pt Dahousie, Pt Weller and the NOTL plant). He also ran the 10-acre family farm from the mid '60s to his 88^th year. He had an extremely strong work ethic and a desire to stay engaged w/ farm production. He remained an active volunteer in the activities of Upper Canada Lodge many years after the passing of his wife.

The family would like to acknowledge: all of the staff at PARAMED, with a special mention of Sue, his favourite PSW and Sheila the coordinator for enabling him to stay in the family home until the last two weeks; the nursing staff at the Hartzel Rd clinic, with a loving tip of the hat to Sally, our favourite nurse and Shana the scheduler; and Andrea Kamerman, RN, and Dr Tim Bastedo for ensuring that he was placed in a nursing home when the need arose. 

He belonged to a special, daily coffee group at Sono's in Virgil until he fell ill last year but tried to go weekly until he moved to Westhills. By far, his favourite weekly outing, was Fish & Chips at the NOTL Branch 124 Legion. His last attendance was about a month ago. Even as his dementia increased, he always knew what day Thursday was and would ask us several times a day if "we were still going to fish & chips" that evening. He loved all things farming and tractors. The family attended many farm shows and ploughing matches throughout the years as family outings.

A memorial service will be held at MORGAN FUNERAL HOME, 415 Regent St., Niagara-on-the-Lake, on Saturday, June 1, 2024, at 1 p.m. Cremation has taken place, and a private family interment will take place later at McNab Cemetery. For those who wish, may make a memorial donation to either the Canadian Cancer Society or to Alzheimer Society. Memories, photos, and condolences may be shared at www.morganfuneral.com
