Peter Donald Hall

Peter Donald Hall passed away at his residence on March 21, 2023.  He was born in Shelbyville, Indiana on July 3, 1949, the son of Donald and Wilma (Lux) Hall.

He was married on December 3, 1977 to Katrina (Everhart) Hall, who survives.

Peter was a 1967 graduate of Shelbyville High School and attended Ball State University. Afterwards, he served in the United States Air Force for four years, most of which was spent at the Lakenheath Air Force Base in England.  

He retired in 2019 from Vicon Industries, having worked in the security and life safety systems industry for 40 years.

He is survived by his children Matthew (Cassie) Hall of West Lafayette, Indiana and Ashley “Nikki” (Noah) Wethington, of Franklin, Tennessee and grandchildren Liam, Logan, and Owen of Hall and Olivia, Nash and Finn Wethington.

He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather who never missed an opportunity to share the latest achievement or adventure of his children and grandchildren. He was an avid sports fan and was particularly a fan of the Purdue Boilermakers later in his life, converting in connection with his children’s attendance at Purdue University.
