It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Edward Brooks Hall, Jr., 49, of Wilmington, NC, on Thursday, February 23, 2023. Ted was a remarkable person, full of love and kindness who had an unending generosity, patience, humor, and most of all love. He was a fantastic father of seven, a loving husband, and dear friend and will be greatly missed by all those who knew him.

Ted was born at Fitzsimmons Army Hospital in Aurora, CO, on June 30, 1973. He grew up in Merrimack, NH, and attended Merrimack High School from 1987 to 1991, where he was a member of the varsity soccer, ski, and cheerleading teams. He attended the University of Massachusetts-Amherst from 1991 to 1993, where he was a member of the men’s soccer team, cheerleading team, and Golden Key National Honor Society. He subsequently transferred to Bowdoin College in Brunswick, ME, in 1993 where he played goalkeeper and captained the men’s soccer team. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon and graduated in 1995 with a degree in political science and government, with a minor in French.

Ted worked as a litigation assistant at the Hale and Dorr law firm in Boston, MA, from 1995 to 1997. He went on to work as an account executive at Hewitt Associates from 1997 to 2012. In 2012-2013 he took a hiatus from the business world and worked as the movement teacher at Pine Hill Waldorf School in Wilton, NH, where his children attended. After moving to Chapel Hill, NC, he became the athletic director at Emerson Waldorf School. In 2021, he returned to the business world and became a strategic account executive at Alight Solutions.

Ted had a life-long passion for athletics and was an avid skier and water skier, completed countless triathlons and iron-man competitions, but mostly loved teaching the next generation how to develop a love of nature and sports.

Ted found joy in the simplest pleasures in life and enjoyed spending time playing in the surf at the beach and watching his children chasing seagulls. He also loved spending summers at his family camp on Lake Winnipesaukee, where hours were spent swimming, sailing, hiking, enjoying time with family, and watching beautiful sunsets.

Ted is survived by his wife, Gina, and their seven children: Bradley, Teddy, Caroline, Emily, Betty, Rosie, and Charlie, ranging in age from 4 to 19. Other survivors include his father, Dr. Edward Hall of Tuftonboro, NH; brothers, Dr. Timothy Hall (Sarah) of York, ME, and Andrew Hall (Mindy) of Tuftonboro, NH; grandmother, Jacqueline Freese of Naples, FL; and many Freese relatives from Concord, NH; also many relatives from the Hall family of Brookline, NH.
