Dr. Frank Martin Hall Jr., MD passed away on July 17, 2019, after a long battle with cancer.
Frank was born in Jamestown, NY, the son of Frank and Elizabeth (Appleyard) Hall.
He grew up in Fredonia, where he excelled in sports, particularly football and baseball.
He attended Washington and Jefferson College in suburban Pittsburgh, where he played safety for the varsity football team and graduated with a degree in biology. After graduation, he attended the University of Buffalo Medical School and then completed his residency at Rochester General Hospital in Rochester, NY.
As a lieutenant in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War, he was stationed in Dallas, Texas, where he served as a doctor and received the Joint Service Commendation Medal from the Department of Defense.
Frank married his high school sweetheart Joan Francis in June 1967. After moving between Buffalo, Rochester, and Dallas, TX, they settled their family in Walton, NY. In Walton, Frank joined the medical practice of Dr. Mike Huyck, later known as the Walton Medical Group on North Street, that was later associated with Bassett Hospital in Cooperstown, NY. After his retirement from the practice, he served as a consulting doctor at SUNY Delhi.
Frank lived most of his life in Walton, NY, and he grew to love the area. He was active in the United Methodist Church of Walton, serving on several committees as well as a church trustee and treasurer. He enjoyed behind-the-scenes efforts such as building the living nativity structure, shoveling the walk on snowy mornings, and serving hot dogs to children during the church-sponsored Summer Lunch program. He also volunteered time, along with his wife Joan, at the United Methodist Church Kingswood Campsite in Hancock NY.
Frank’s love of sports, particularly football, was a driving passion for him, and he could be seen at almost every home Walton football game pacing the length of the field. He also counted vintage cars as a hobby, and restoring his antique cars was a beloved pastime. Going to antique car shows, restoring old car parts and antique furniture, and home painting and repairs took up much of his time of retirement. However, his most precious time was spent with his family and five granddaughters, who enjoyed combing the beaches of Lake Erie and swimming with their Papa.
Frank was predeceased by his wife 52 years, Joan
He is survived by his children:
Elizabeth Merwin (Shawn) of Fredonia, NY,
Christine Rogerson (Christopher) of Richmond, VA,
and Mark Hall (Aimee) of Richmond, VA,
as well as his granddaughters Aurora, Sadie, Karsten, Sielya, and Cameron.
He is also survived by two sisters: Elizabeth Newman of Pennsylvania and Martha Mason of Ohio.
A service for friends and family, honoring the memory of both Frank and Joan, will be held at the Walton First United Methodist Church on August 3rd at 11am. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Association at alz.org in the names of Frank and Joan Hall.
Arrangements are under the direction of Courtney Funeral Home, Walton.
