He subsequently completed a fellowship at the University of Missouri, specializing in angiography and computer applications in radiology.

Dr. Hall served as a radiologist with Watson Clinic and as an interventional radiologist at Lakeland Regional Medical Center from 1971 until his retirement in 2000. Throughout his career, he was respected for his medical expertise, dedication to patient care, and his contributions to the advancement of radiology in the Lakeland community. Following retirement, he volunteered with Lakeland Volunteers in Medicine, reading X-rays for three years. Thereafter, he embraced retirement fully, enjoying each day with gratitude and purpose.

His many interests included woodworking, flying his airplane, genealogy, traveling, photography, and, most of all, being “Papaw” to his family.

Dave was loved by many and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
