David Charles Hall Sr

David Hall, 73, of La Plata, MD, died peacefully on June 15, 2026 in the presence of loved ones. In his youth in Silver Spring and Hyattsville, MD, David helped raise three younger siblings and worked in the family printing business. He married his first love, Mary Scire, and moved to Frederick, MD, where he would spend the next forty years of his life. There, he was a dedicated father of four children, building a home for them to live in from foundation to roof. He was active in youth sports as an assistant coach for his son’s t-ball and Little League teams and he helped organize trips to the Little League World Series. During his 43-year career as a federal employee, David made the leap from cleaning coal-fired boilers to overseeing contracts and budgeting for the Department of Health and Human Services. In his spare time, he enjoyed playing the piano, guitar, golf, and basketball; group bike rides; and tinkering with cars. His ability to repair things was a source of great pride. He married Joy Chapman a few years after his retirement. They made their forever home in La Plata, MD, where he spent time with family and grandchildren, traveled with Joy, and rooted for the Commanders. In addition to Joy, he is survived by his children and their spouses: Jessica Hall and Rob Burns, David Hall II and Jessica Liu, Joseph Hall and Cheryl Quimba, and Thomas Hall and Juana Poroj Chan; his stepson Kenneth King; four grandchildren: Braeden, Justin, and Serena Burns-Hall and Lennox King; his first wife Mary Scire; his brothers Albert Hall III and Christopher Hall; and his sisters Susan Nern, Dolores Hall, Marian Carroll, and Laura Baguio and numerous other family members. He was preceded in death by his parents Albert Hall and Marian Gardiner Hall; sisters Cecelia Murray and Lucy Marie Hall; and second wife Deborah Hall. A visitation and service will be held in his honor at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, July 8 at Raymond Funeral Home, 5635 Washington Ave., La Plata, MD 20646. A reception will follow at the Waldorf Jaycees Community Center, 3090 Crain Hwy, Waldorf, MD 20601. All are welcome. Expressions of sympathy can be sent to 7377 Woodhaven Dr, La Plata, MD 20646; love donations can be made in David’s name to the charity of one’s choice.
