Hariold Snead Hall was born on March 9, 1932, to the union of the late Crews and Mary Hall in the small town of Halifax County Virginia. He departed his life peacefully on Saturday, November 19, 2022 at home in Brandywine, MD. He was the fifth child from a family of nine. Hariold was preceded in death by his parents, Crews and Mary Hall; three brothers: Chester, Norman, and Schelley Hall; four sisters: Nannie Ruth Tuck, Reba Jewell Thompson, Monica Brazzee Thompson, and Kathryn Winifred Lassiter. As the Patriarch, Hariold was the last surviving uncle for both the Hall and the Small families where he shared his love, wisdom, humor, and skills for many years. Hariold’s faith journey began at Morning Star Holiness Church where he accepted Christ and was baptized. Hariold was a dedicated Deacon at Repentance by Faith Holiness Church and also a devoted Deacon and Trustee at Abundant Life United Holy Church of America until his passing. Hariold was educated in Halifax County – graduating from Halifax Training School in 1952. That same year, he was drafted into the United States Army. In 1954, he received an honorable discharge at the rank of Corporal. Hariold grew up in a Christian home and worked on the family farm. He, along with his father and brothers, built the family home. Hariold enjoyed playing baseball, playing the guitar and singing in the family group (The Hall Four) which consisted of Winnie, Norman, Ruth and Hariold and shortly after Brazzee replacing Ruth. Hariold was married to the love of his life, Sallie Beatrice Small. From this union, three lovely children were born, one son (Hariold Roger) and twin daughters (Denise Annette and Denitra Ann). Hariold began his Federal Government employment in 1956 as a Custodial Laborer and moved to Mail/File Clerk and finally to a Supervisory Technical Information Specialist. During his stay in the government, he completed the business curriculum at the Blackwell Business College. He was a strong typist and Greg shorthand stenographer. At this time, administrative skills were important, he insisted all his children took typing in school -- believing when in need typing jobs would be available. Employed by the Federal Government, Hariold worked in several agencies: The Department of the Army, General Service Administration, Navy Defense Printing, Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and the Department of Energy. Hariold received numerous outstanding awards while working for the Federal Government. He finalized his government career with the Department of Energy on October 5, 1981, totally 27 years with the Federal Government. Hariold rested for two years after retiring from the Federal Government. In 1983, he shared his administrative and supervisory skills at the Arlington Diocese. After working for the Arlington Diocese for one year, he was presented the first ‘Employee of the Year’ award. Hariold retired 10 years later. Hariold joined the Free and Accepted Masons of Arlington Lodge No. 58 in 1956 and was a life member. He was also a member of Shadrack Jackson Consistory #156, AASR, 320 and Magnus Temple No. 3, Prince Hall Shriners. Hariold was a former member of Eureka Chapter No. 2, Holy Royal Arch Mason. In 2014, Hariold received a Fifty-Year Membership Certificate followed by 50-year service award in 2018. Hariold always left a lasting and positive impression on everyone. He was always impeccably dressed from head to toe, wore his Lagerfeld cologne, and would always put a smile on your face. As long as you did not step on his shoes, you were okay. Hariold enjoyed life; serving the Lord, fishing, gardening, watching the news - CNN, court TV, boxing, playing with his children and grandchildren and of course watching the Dallas Cowboys. Hariold attended all football games played by Roger and all basketball games played by his twins. Known as Papa, he found joy in supporting his grandchildren in their sports, academic, arts, and church activities. While he grew up singing with his siblings, it was a joy for him to hear his daughters sing together as well as his grandchildren do the same – The Four. Hariold was very active in the Hatfield Community (South Arlington, VA). Known as ‘Mayor of 1st Street', he was an advocate member of the civic association, NAACP and other organizations to ensure fairness to all. He always looked out for his neighbors. Hariold always kept his cars in tip top shape and gassed up. Sallie never had to put gas in the car, that was something Hariold made sure of. You would often hear Hariold state “I may not always be right but I am seldom wrong.” This confident, strong willed, intelligent, jack of all trade, small in stature giant really believed that. Hariold valued his family. He is known as the uncle that always called and wished everyone a Happy Birthday. It was important that he exemplified what a true Christian man, husband, and father was -- he led by example. Hariold was a person that always showed love and concern. He was a person that many would come to for advice -- always willing to give. Hariold believed that if he can help somebody along the way, then his living will not be in vain. His legacy will live through those who will love him forever. He leaves to carry on his legacy -- wife of sixty-six years: Sallie S. Hall; children: Hariold Hall (Diane) of Charlotte, NC, Denitra Bynum (Charles) of Upper Marlboro, MD and Denise Pincham (L. Ray) of Brandywine, MD. He is the beloved Papa to six grandchildren: Cheyenne Hall, Halston Hall (Daria), Charles Bynum, III, Indasha Bynum, Dominique Bynum and Tyrus Pincham; one great-granddaughter: Jordyn Hall; baby sister: Naomi Rose; three sister in-laws: Laura & Nancy Small and Evelyn Shepherd; two god-daughters: Wanda Crawley-Pearson (Chris) and Erica Small. Hariold cherished his life-long friendship of over sixty years with Willie Glasper (Barbara), a.k.a. Partner – a true brother. He is also survived by a host of nephews, nieces, loving relatives and friends. Hariold – this determined Dallas Cowboy Fan loved his family very dearly and would do anything to help them. His prayer was that he lived long enough to see his grandchildren become adults and that God grace him, Sallie, and their family with good health. For 90 years, God did just that!
