HALL; Leonard R.
1923 - 2016
On Thursday, February 18th, our Dad passed away peacefully at Heritage Village in Chilliwack surrounded by family. Len was born at home on the Tzeachten First Nation in Chilliwack, BC and married Lena Bohn in 1955.
Throughout school he excelled in soccer and track and field, but his passion was for soccer and continued to play up until he headed south for work. His sports enthusiasm remained through coaching and as a devoted fan of his family's sports activities. He enjoyed his career as a logger and later as a construction labourer which included working on the Coquihalla highway.
Predeceased by his wife Lena; parents John & Nellie Hall; brothers: Don, John (Sonny), Gordon and Art; sisters: Winnie, Grace and Bea. Survived by sons Joe Hall (Trudy) and Ray Hall (Cathy); daughters Doris Montgomery (Jim) and Cathy Hall, grandchildren Tyler, Cody, Nolan (Cassie), Kyle (Krista), Kelsey and Caitlyn, sister Helen (June) Bonner, sisters-in-law Nora Hall, Lillian Ritter (Vern), Monda Bohn; brothers-in-law Wally Bohn, Leonard Bohn (Colleen), dear cousin Orland Paul (Donna) from Tulalip, WA., many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Our sincere appreciation goes out to all the exceptional nurses and staff that so lovingly cared for, and sometimes even sang with Dad, at the Bradley Centre and Heritage Village. A viewing will be held on Thursday, February 25th from 7 pm - 9 pm at Henderson's Funeral Home, Chilliwack. Celebration of Life will be held 10:00 am on Friday, February 26th at Ch'iyaqtel (Tzeachten) Community Hall, 45855 Promontory Road, Chilliwack, BC.
