Kenneth J. Hall, age 92, husband of the late Dolores Joan (Benkert) Hall, of King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on Monday, March 1, 2021, at Holy Family Senior Living, Bethlehem. Born on November 21, 1928, in New York City, New York, he was the son of the late Wilhelmina (Whittlinger) and George Hall.
A graduate from Manhattan High School of Aviation Trade, he served in the United States Army in the aftermath of WWII from 1947-1948.

He was a faithful member of the Mother of Divine Providence Parish in King of Prussia. He loved the Lord, served as a Eucharistic Minister and was involved with the Landings Group and Alpha. Additionally, he and his wife were very involved in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal.
He had such a loving, gentle way about him, a sweet and generous spirit and cared very deeply for his family. He always made those around him feel safe and secure. He profoundly touched so many lives. His family will always cherish the beach trips, dinners on their deck, long conversations and precious moments with his grandchildren.
