Henry Nall Obituary

On September 19, 2007. Henry "Hank" Nall, much beloved dad, grandpa, uncle, and friend, died peacefully after a brave and spirited three year long experience of life after the effects of a right brain stroke. Hank was born on April 18, 1929 in Repton, Alabama into the family of James and Olive Nall, which included six brothers and three sisters. He grew up to be an admirable man with a very strong work ethic and enjoyed a successful 46 year career with Electrolux Corporation. After retiring from Electrolux, he spent the next several years of his life caring for his wife of 34 years, Rhonda, until her death in September 1990. He loved being able to look out the window of his home of 44 years in Colorado Springs and see the beautiful view of Pikes Peak. However, in December 2004 he came to reside near his family at Park Place Care Center in Georgetown, Texas after his stroke. Even through the damage and disability caused by the stroke, his ornery sense of humor and love for his family showed through. It was also there that he developed special relationships with and received extra fine care and compassion from Jean, Grace, Kathy, and Mary, as well as Lori from Lighthouse Hospice. With a strong and unique personality like Hank's, there were still many humorous and sweet memories made with those he cared about. Cremation was handled by The Gabriels Funeral Home in Georgetown and burial and a graveside memorial service will be held in Colorado Springs later in the summer. Hank was preceded in death by his brothers Cecil, Bruce, Earl, Levon, and Guy, and his sisters Hazel, Blanche, and Jewell, as well as both parents, wife Rhonda, and dear longtime friends. Hank is survived by his devoted family, daughter Cheryl and son-in-law Danny of Austin, Texas, their three daughters Dancey, Caitlin and her husband Brian, and Callie and his great-grandson Alix; also his son Tim and wife Mindy of Salt Lake City, Utah and his three other grandchildren Haley, Brett, and Camille. He also had a number of nieces and nephews who were immensely fond of him, along with his brother Frank, and dear friends all of whom share many memories of Hank. As Hank would have put it, he's gone home "to slop the pigs and feed the chickens". He will be deeply missed.
