D.R.Hall, a Canadian Artist, beloved husband, loving father and adored grandfather. His love for his family was like no other, but what came as a very close second to this was his love for art.
D.R. Hall has had an oustanding career in Fine Arts. He was named "The most promising artist to date" in an article that was written half a century ago in a local paper.
His paintings are a part of many homes around the world including countless dignitaries. He has also made numerous donations to various organizations and charities throughout his memorable career.
"I could draw, all I needed to learn was colour". D.R. Hall
A great loss to all, he will be truly missed.
"Wheat fields starting to turn golden yellow, sky clearing after a warm summer rain, sun rays falling on the distant fields, shadows running across landscapes".
The family also wishes to extend thanks to nurses and porters on the 5th Floor, D Wing South of Grand River Hospital for the care and attention shown to Don during his stay. A very special thank-you to Pastor Nancy of St. Mark's Lutheran Church, we are very blessed to have her as part of our inner circle.
