Personal Life
Hall married the former Mary Ellen Murphy on November 14, 1944, while he was serving in the navy in Pensacola, Florida. They had three sons, Hampton, Brett, and Blakeley, and (as of 2002) had five grandchildren. She died on August 27, 2008.
In January 2004, regarding his switch of party, Hall said "I talked with some of my family. Some agreed, some did not. My wife didn't agree. She'd rather I quit than switch parties."
As a young man, Hall pumped gas for a man and woman whom he later identified as the infamous gangsters Bonnie and Clyde.
