Willie was born on Sept. 7, 1939 in Milam County. He graduated from Round Top Carmine High School in 1958 and was awarded athletic scholarships for track, baseball and basketball. He earned his Associate’s degree from Blinn College. He married his high school sweetheart, Dorine Weyand Hall, on March 19, 1959. In their 61 years of marriage they raised five children and were very involved in all aspects of their lives.

He was the proud owner of Hall Construction Company for 50 plus years. He built custom homes that were beautiful and sturdy.

Willie was a family man. He supported his wife, Dorine, children and grandchildren in everything they did. You could find him any day of the week in the bleachers, on the sidelines or in an audience showing his support and wearing the appropriate team attire.

Above all things Willie loved, he especially loved camping with his sweetheart, Dorine, in their camping trailer they named Terry. He enjoyed the outdoors. Their love for camping and the outdoors carried down to their children and grandchildren who enjoyed the outdoors and camping with them. Grilling and cooking out were some of his favorites while camping. He made the best hamburger you’ve ever tasted! And every burger was better than the one before.

Willie was an avid runner. He ran numerous half marathons. On any given weekend you could find Willie and Dorine at a local 5K or 10K race with their favorite races being the Capitol 10K and Blue Bell Fun run.

He was always first to the party and last to leave. His motto was, “I’m not here for a long time, I’m just here for a good time.” Wherever you are today, have a beer and make a toast to Willie!!!
