Fredrick Hall

Fredrick Livingston Hall, age 84, of Grand Rapids passed at his home on April 12, 2025. Fred was born in Grand Rapids on January 18, 1941, the oldest of 3 children of Albert and Janore (Livingston) Hall.

On May 19, 1962, Fred was united in marriage to Patricia Napieralski. The young couple would welcome three children into their family.

A hard-worker, Fred was an accomplished architect. Over the span of his career, he worked for several firms including Hornbach, Steenwyk and Thrall, WBDC, Robert Wold & Associates and Design+. He was an integral member of the teams that helped design much of the GVSU buildings, Meijer distribution centers, Studio 28, Star Theaters and many other buildings in & around Grand Rapids.

Fred believed in giving back to his industry and his community. He spent many years serving on various architectural boards and was proud of his time serving on the Grand Rapids Catholic Dioceses Planning Board.

When he wasn’t working, Fred enjoyed trips to the casino. Poker was Fred’s game of choice, and he liked the challenge of Texas Hold ‘Em. He was an avid bowler and the sounds of the ball hitting the pins was music to his ears.

Fred was a loving and devoted husband, caring father and loving grandfather. In January of 2024, Fred lost his beloved Pat. He mourned her loss and was ready to be with her again. Knowing they are together provides peace for his family.

Besides his wife of 61 years, Fred was preceded in death by his daughter-in-law Jackie Hall and his great-granddaughter Zanna.
