Andrew Clifford Hall

Andrew Clifford Hall Jr. (A.C.), of Wake Forest, went to be with the LORD suddenly on May 4th, 2020 at the age of 84 while residing at Hillside Nursing Center. He was born December 12, 1935, and spent his early childhood in Louisburg, North Carolina until moving to Wake Forest at fifteen years of age. He proudly served in the U.S. Army, then attended his Alma Mater Chowan College.  Eventually, A.C. got a job selling fire engines which took him across much of the State to many Fire Departments which he passionately did until retiring after nearly 40 years.  A.C. also devoted 20 years as a volunteer fireman with the Wake Forest Fire Department.  He was also one of the original members of the Wake Forest Rescue Squad back in the 1960s. The memories gleaned from all the experiences from the emergency service no doubt made an impact on his view of life, especially the fragility of it.

A.C. enjoyed reading and had a vast and meticulous memory.  He enjoyed sketching such things as animals, and churches with many of them inside his Bible, most likely drawn during actual Church services. He also liked to carve all kinds of creatures out of blocks of wood. A.C. had a different sense of humor and was known for joking around and making facetious or negative comments, though he was really a kind person.

It is natural for the passing of a loved one to be viewed as a time of sadness.  But mostly, it is also a time of rejoicing to those who have a relationship with the LORD Jesus Christ.  Many verses in the Bible make this promise to those who believe.  John 14: 1-4 states “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.”

Those left to cherish his memory are his wife of 56 years, Gloria M. Hall of Wake Forest;  son Stephen (Lorinda) Hall of Zebulon NC;  daughter Suzanne (Brad) Blankenship of Tumwater WA; and two grandchildren, Samuel and Silas Hall of Zebulon NC.  He is preceded in death by his parents, Andrew C. Hall Sr. and Virginia Hall, and granddaughter Selah Grace Hall.
