Dave was a founding member of the Greater Carroll County Chapter of the NFB of Maryland and for many years served as Chapter Secretary. Dave was blind at heart, and he was well-known for his work repairing Perkins Braillers in Carroll County and the surrounding area, including for other members and the local school systems. Dave, an engineer, also enjoyed making accessible games and devices, including beep baseballs, bikes, math toys for kids, and alternative equipment for home repairs and science. Dave was a creative, and his focus was making sure that blind people, the elderly, and others could maintain their independence with the right tools. Dave leaves behind his wife of many years, Wanda, his children Michael and Michelle, and three beloved grandchildren.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Information about arrangements is below:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Celebration of Life: July 18, 2026<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Viewing: 1:00 – 2:30PM<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Service: 2:30PM<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Location: <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Krug chapel auditorium at Lutheran Village<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>300 St. Luke’s Circle <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Westminster, MD 21157<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Below is the link to the obituary:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://www.fletcherfuneralhome.net/obituary/David-Hall">https://www.fletcherfuneralhome.net/obituary/David-Hall</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please keep Dave, his family, and all who loved him in your thoughts and prayers.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ronza<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Ronza Othman, </b>President<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>National Federation of the Blind of Maryland<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>443-426-4110<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Pronouns: she, her, hers<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Need to meet with me? <a href="https://calendly.com/president-nfbmd/30min"><span style='color:blue'>Please use this link to schedule through Calendly</span></a>.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future.
