Hall of Worcester, many aunts and uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins, his grandniece and grandnephews, as well as his good buddy and rescue dog, King. Karl was predeceased by his daughter, Eva L. Hall and his brother, Ralph A. Hall.

Karl was born in Holden and grew up in West Boylston, then Worcester, where he raised his family. He moved to Florida nine years ago. Karl was the "best truck driver ever" and taught all his friends how to drive an eighteen wheeler, some who are still running the road today. He travelled all over the country visiting nearly every state while working for his father's business, Hall Brothers, Inc. He was an owner/operator for many years of Hall's Moving & Storage, co-owned and operated CapCon Logistics with his brother and sister and last owned and operated Hall's Trucking. Karl was a handsome man with a big heart and a generous spirit. He loved being around friends and family enjoying stories and many laughs. He loved all animals, especially his horse, Trucker, who he rode on the family's farm in Spencer. He enjoyed fishing, camping, classic rock music (played very loud), a good game of cribbage, old western movies and riding his Harley Davidson with his girlfriend Angela. He had a big smile, a quick wit and a way with words. He was fond of old adages; "Don't ever change your in horse mid-stream" was one of his favorites. His family and friends already miss him very much.
