Thomas L. Hall

Thomas Lee Hall, 73, of Bellevue, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loved ones on Tuesday, March 30, 2021. He was born April 10, 1947 in Charlotte to Paul and Donna (Hampton) Hall. After graduating from Charlotte High School, he was drafted into the U.S. Army serving from 1966 to 1968. When he returned to Charlotte, Tom started an apprenticeship with LCC becoming a painter, and later started his own business alongside his father, Paul, becoming another in the long line of family painters. “Tom Hall Painting” was in business over 50 years, and painted almost every house in Charlotte during that time.
With many interests and hobbies, Tom was a wealth of knowledge that he was ready to share at any given moment from his mental archives. He learned through experience, always participating and never one to just sit on the sidelines and watch. To his family’s surprise, Tom secretly learned how to play the guitar. The family was so excited that they formed a family band, practicing in the basement, and even playing at a few local venues. Tom loved to fish and hunt, and his grandkids share stories of taking their first deer while hunting with their grandpa. A devoted family man, Tom very much enjoyed time spent with family and friends, making even the simplest moments memorable.
Tom is survived by his wife of 51 years, Helen; children, Misty Harris and Holly (Andrew) Allen; grandchildren, Paul Walker-Hall (Samara Simmons), Chassity (Tanner) McNelly, Paige (Jean) Lizaire, Marranda Mitchell, and Drue Allen; great-grandchildren, Ava, Malaya, and Hendrix; mother, Donna (Tom) Salik; siblings, Ed (Linda) Hall, Mary (Pat) Schneider, and Rebecca (Ed) Magoon. Tom was preceded in death by his father, Paul Hall.
