Floid Hall was the son of Frank Banner and Maude Lavina Hall. His early years were spent in Nodaway County, Missouri. He attended college at Northwest Missouri State Teacher's College where he graduated in 1931 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Education. He was married to Mabel Cox in 1935, but she passed away on 2 Sep 1936 from a congenital heart defect. Floid remarried in 1938 and produced four children, two of whom died at birth. Floid ran a cream station in Maryville, Missouri and did woodworking and upholstery work on the side. He moved his family to Nevada, Missouri where he taught industrial arts for two years at the high school. He gave up teaching and went to work for the government in Kansas City, Kansas, and then moved his family to Independence, Missouri where they lived until he retired from Colonial Fixtures in 1977. Following retirement, he and Mom would move back to Maryville where it all began.
Dad was the most loving individual I have ever known. I never once heard him utter a swear word or say anything unkind about anybody. He was a man of deep faith and read his Bible every night. He had a brilliant mind and could do anything. He loved putting together old tube radios, restoring old furniture, becoming a rock hound and doing lapidary work. He even started making miniature dollhouse furniture and built dollhouses for his family members. He and Mom took various art classes over the years, gardened, and raised chickens and guinea fowl. They purchased my Grandmother's farm after she died and kept up two homes and properties until their health began to fail. They took many trips together, and enjoyed their grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Dad began to lose his hearing in later years due to all the machinery he worked around for so many years. By the time his 50th wedding anniversary rolled around he had started to lose that sparkle in his eyes that I so loved. He would spend his final years in a nursing home, and preceded my Mother in death. He also preceded all but three of his nine siblings in death...Edna Hanna from Pickering, Missouri, Betty Lewis from Denver, Colorado, and Roland Hall from Commerce City, Colorado. Dad died in 1994 and I lost my heart's love. I miss his wonderful sense of humor, his laughter, his kindness, his loving ways, and his generosity. I was "Daddy's Girl," and I had the best Dad ever! I love him so much! Rest in peace, Daddy, until we are together again!
