Gordon Hall, born on January 27, 1935, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, passed away peacefully on July 19, 2024, with family by his side. He is survived by his beloved wife, Julie; daughters Cynthia Villwock, Melanie Schauble (Frank), Vanessa Shepherd (Andrew); and son, Morgan Hall (Cathy). He was a proud grandfather to Ryan, Stefan, Leah, Nicholas, Morgan, Christopher, and Emily, and his seven great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother Ralph (Barb), and several nieces and nephews. Gordon was predeceased by his father, Jerry, and his mother, Anne.
Following his graduation from dentistry at the University of Manitoba, his journey led him to Dryden in 1962. As a competent, caring, and well-respected dentist, he served the Dryden community for 30 years until his retirement in 1992.
Gordon embraced the move to Dryden with enthusiasm, eager to pursue his love for the outdoors. His passion for nature was boundless. Gordon spent many years exploring the area and enjoying the great outdoors. He generously shared his vast knowledge, becoming a mentor to many.
Gordon was a master of whatever he decided to take on or do. From building a beautiful log home on Ghost Lake, finding the best fishing hole, mastering the art of carving, photography, piloting an airplane, scuba diving and so much more.
Among his many joys, fishing was his greatest pleasure. Gordon delighted in catching, cleaning, and preparing walleye fish fries for family and friends, turning each expedition into a treasured memory.
Gordon had a profound love for his family. He placed great value on closeness with family and friends.
His legacy of knowledge, mentorship, and the joy he found in nature and fishing will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.
The family would like to express their gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and staff who showed such compassion and professionalism to both Gordon and our family. In lieu of flowers, and in memory of Gordon, donations may be made to the palliative care unit at the Dryden Regional Health Centre.
