David was an avid outdoorsman; he loved to hunt, fish and golf. Always curious and open to learning, he took up aviation late in life. Like his mother, Marcia Hall, David was a loyal fan of UK basketball. An endless problem solver, David enjoyed trouble shooting and engineering any mechanical issue. He and Janice cultivated close friendships for over twenty-three years at the Royal Oaks community in Dundee, FL. His laughter and humor was infectious and he will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all those who were blessed to know him.

To honor his memory, friends and family established the David P. Hall Memorial Scholarship Fund. The fund assists deserving WKU students obtain a higher education. Through this fund, David's legacy lives on in perpetuity.
