OCEAN CITY — It is with a sad heart I write to say that my husband of 19 years passed on Sunday, May 16, 2021.
Bill first moved to Ocean City in the 1960s and his first job was working as a carney for Casey’s Games on the Boardwalk. Bill later became one of the first bartenders at the Purple Moose Saloon and later worked at the Bonfire and the Hurricane Night Club.
Bill worked for many years in Baltimore County, at Nationwide Nissan and Don White’s Chrysler Plymouth. He had a knack for sales and loved the art of the deal. He would cook ribs all day and throw huge parties at the family farm in Parkton for all his dealership friends.
Bill loved classic cars, fine wine and the game of golf. When Bill returned to Ocean City in 2006, he went to work at Pine Shore Golf and later at Deer Run Golf Course. He loved making new friends and working outdoors. He was also an avid surf fishing buff and loved spending long days on Assateague Island. He was convinced it was impossible to enjoy a steak without a glass of Cabernet.
For many years Bill reminded me that his final wish was to let everyone know he drank life from a full cup. Anyone who knew Bill would certainly agree, and that once he was your friend, he always would be. His quick wit and sense of humor will truly be missed. Bill didn’t have acquaintances, only good friends.
Bill is survived by his brother, Stephen Hall of Baltimore, and his sister Patty Ziehl in Winston Salem, N.C. Bill had two sons, Bill Hall III and Brandon Hall, who reside in Towson. Bill was a loving uncle to Erika, Stephanie and Nicholas Loppatto, Alexis Kay, Danielle Landphair and Nicole Ziehl, and was very close with his in-laws, David Ziehl, Tracy Loppatto and Robert Kautz. Bill is also survived by his mother-in-law, Doris Kautz, and the pup that misses him terribly, Hollywood.
A celebration of life will occur in the fall. Donations in his memory can be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, Tenn. 38105 or the Worcester County Humane Society, P.O. Box 48, Berlin, Md. 21811. Letters of condolence may be sent via www.burbagefuneralhome.com. Arrangements are in the care of the Burbage Funeral Home in Berlin.
