THOMAS P.P. HALES, "PaPa", was called home by Jesus, his Lord and Savior, on Wednesday, September 27, 2023.

Left to carry on his legacy of family is the love of his life, Linda Hales and the greatest joy of his life, his daughter, Shelley Hales Payne "Charlie".  He will be deeply missed, but always admired by his beloved grandson Ryan Payne (Samantha) and granddaughter Lyndsay MacKay (Matthew). He is also survived by his four great-grandchildren: Max, Ollie, Ben and Will, who will carry on his lasting desire for learning, life and love.

He was predeceased by his precious daughter Patricia Hales.

Although a true innovator and designer many years ahead of his time, his greatest accomplished passion was always his beloved family.  For a lifetime, he was an inspiration to his family and shared his love and prized possessions with those around him; his spirit of giving, both possessions and unending wisdom and love will be forever remembered.  

Our PaPa was dedicated to his family and was always there to support his family in any way possible, while most happy spending time with Linda, Shelley, and his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We love you PaPa and will see you again very soon.   

At the family's request, no funeral service will be held. Cremation entrusted to Cornerstone Funeral Home.  Flowers are gratefully declined.
