Charles Hall Sr.

WINDHAM — Charles W. “Bill” Hall Sr., 83, died peacefully on Saturday, March 3, 2018, surrounded by his family.

He was born in Windham on April 15, 1934, the son of the late John and Marion (Brackett) Hall.

Bill was a dairy farmer, and the farm was, quite simply, his life. He bought his first cow while still in high school and built his barn in 1960. Starting his farm from scratch, Bill has grown it into raising between 90 to 100 cows. For over 60 years, he has been selling his milk to Oakhurst, and has won many awards through the company. To say Bill was a hard worker is an understatement. He had dedicated his life to his farm and was able to share his successes with his wife and children.

Bill is survived by his beloved wife of over 45 years, Carol (Sawyer) Hall; sons, Charles “Chuck” Jr. of Windham, Richard “Rick” of Livermore and Leslie “Les” of Windham; daughter, Wanda Hall of Upton; stepdaughter, Dorotha “Dottie” Bell of Waterford; 10 grandchildren; and many great-grandchildren.

Services for Bill will be private, per his request. Arrangements are by the Windham Chapel of Dolby, Blais & Segee. To express condolences and to participate in Bill’s online tribute, please visit: www.DolbyBlaisSegee.com
