Leonard "Junior" Elbert Hall Jr.

A Funeral will be held for Junior on Saturday, the 6th of January at the First Presbyterian Church of Grapevine at 2:00pm

Leonard Hall Jr. aka “Junior” came into this world on June 21st 1941 like a hot rod, fish tailing around the corner. He came to a stop on December 4th, 2023 at the age of 82. He was the man, the myth, and without a doubt, the legend. He lived every day of his life with passion and purpose.
He was a son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather who answered to the name Papa! Family was the end-all, be-all for him. Friendship was at the core of his being. The Masonic lodge and its brotherhood centered and balanced him.
He left us many gifts and lessons, teaching us how to pick our battles and, more importantly, he led by example as he impressed upon us the art of forgiveness. The true love of his life was his wife of 52 years, Nancy Hall. As we start the process of honoring his life, we hope that everyone will remember that he left this earth wanting us to carry the torch of his legacy in Grapevine, to tell his stories, and live life to the fullest! The return of The Catfish Hut will be just one of the many ways we will honor him!
