Norman Larry Hall

Norman was known, to most of us, as Larry. If you knew him at all, you knew of his love for flying, which developed at an early age when his Grandfather Hargrove hired a Bridgeton, NJ crop duster to spray his fields. After the work was done for the day, the kids were given rides in the plane. That is all it took to fuel a lifelong passion for flying! After attending elementary school in Lumberton, he went to Rancocas Valley High School and helped at the family dairy farm. As a teenager, he became involved in the local Civil Air Patrol. He made the decision to study Aeronautical Engineering at St. Louis University. After earning his degree, he made the move to California to take a job at McDonnell Douglas Aerospace. Eventually, he spent the rest of his career at Boeing where he worked on several projects, including the Osprey and the design of the CH-47 cockpit windscreen. Larry made his way back to the east coast where he became a flight instructor. While teaching others to take to the skies, he met and married Patricia. Even though they eventually divorced, Patricia (Gill) Hall remains a dearly loved family friend. Larry finally “landed” in Dover, Delaware, where he retired. His neighbors told his family members, who helped him move back to NJ after a hospital stay this past summer, how they respected him and enjoyed the many conversations with him over the years. He settled at his sister, Christine Goodfellow’s home in Southampton to receive hospice services from the Burlington County branch of Samaritan Hospice and passed peacefully on December 16th. Larry was pre-deceased by his by his parents, Norman & Alice (Hargrove) Hall; sister, Virginia (Hall) Danter & her husband, Charlie Danter; as well as sister Christine’s husband Carl Goodfellow. Larry is survived by his siblings - Christine (Hall) Goodfellow, Mary Hall, Betty (Hall) & Paul Alvater, Bill & Pam (Pheobus) Hall, Pam (Hall) & Dan Giberson, along with his nieces, nephews, great nieces & nephews. Funeral services for Larry will be held on Saturday January 6 at 3pm at Perinchief Chapels, 438 High Street, Mount Holly, NJ 08060. Friends and relatives are invited to attend his visitation from 2-3pm prior to the start of the services.
