It certainly looks that way from the evidence posted.

To prove that Donald was their father, you need the marriage cert. of one of the children to see who is noted as father, but it does look to be him from what was written in his obituary.

It would seem that Dianne Hall married someone with the surname Bastedo,
Carrie Hall married someone with the surname Lester and
Rosemary Hall married someone with the surname Lister.

You need someone with access to Canadian bmd, but I do believe that more recent records are not easy to view on line.

Sorry i am getting alittle stuck with all the help i am receiving........So are we saying that Michael, Dianne, Carrie and Rosemary are Donalds childrent to joan tucker

Mark

Sorry Mike but how can this not be relevant?

from Obituary of Don Hall:-
children Michael, Dianne, Carrie and Rosemary

from Obituary of Jane's mother:-
grandmother of Dianne Bastedo & family,
Mike Hall,
Carrie Lester & family,
Rosemary Lister & Family

If your side of the family is the Hall family, then surely this will help enormously as it gives you the married names of his daughters. If Mike had married I would have thought that it would also be noted "& family", so could be that he never married, or at least he wasn't married at the time of his grandmother's death.

This is not my side of the family sorry

One of the grandchildren of Elsie Lola (Lickers) Tucker was Mike Hall.

Her parents:-

William "Norman" Tucker
1909 – 1999

Elsie Iola Lickers
1913 – 2009

...........sorry but that's all I can find.

Would be related to his other side which is no connection to me sadly

Is this the mother of Joan Norma Hall? If so she seems to be a native North American.

is there a notice of death for 2001 for joan norma hall which may help to work out who the children belong to

Donald also had a brother Robert Mederith Hall 1925 - 1999 Toronto

My World Sub only allows Ontario marriages to 1928. I remember Sylvia in canada saying in the past that they have strict privacy laws. A bit like us in Oz.

Last comment taken from your posting to me

Survivors include his wife, Edythe, children Michael, Dianne, Carrie and Rosemary and eight grandchildren.

The tree has Joan's death as 2001 and no mention of a second marriage. No children listed either and my subscription doesn't allow me search Canadian BMD so you will still need help from someone who does to find out other info.
As he was well known you could also try googling his name.
Good luck.

Must of remarried to Edythe as first evidence shows he married Joan Tucker

Thanks just what i needed the rest of the family listed

Thank you so much

Obituary:-

Don Hall 1931-2006
The Carpenter Who Built Cinequip

Don Hall, shown at the CSC Awards in June, 1997, accepting the CSC Bill Hilson Award for outstanding service contributing to the development of the motion picture industry.

" I've done a little of everything," Don Hall told the CSC News in June, 1997, a month after he was the recipient of the CSC Bill Hilson Award for outstanding service contributing to the development of the motion picture industry. In the early 1950s, "I actually was a carpenter by trade," working under his father at Maple Leaf Gardens and helping to build show stages at the Royal Alexandra Theatre and the CNE grandstand.

Hall, who went on to found and run Cinequip Inc. until he retired and sold the company to William F. White Ltd. in 2001 after 35 years, died last month at the age of 75. The firm now does business as CinequipWhite.

During time off from working for his father, Hall worked on film shoots like the Stratford production of Oedipus Rex at the old Lakeshore Studio and The Last of the Mohicans, "originally as a carpenter and then as a grip during the shoot." When Robert Lawrence Productions came to Toronto in 1954, Hall got a job building sets, then worked his way up from grip to production manager, vice-president and eventually executive producer in charge of all production.

"They were a big company at that time, with a staff of between 50 and 75 people," Hall recalled, "and many times we'd shoot five and six commercial productions a day." In 1965-66, he was production manager for the nine-camera, 360-degree Walt Disney Circlevision that screened at the Telephone Pavilion at Expo '67 in Montreal. Fritz Spiess csc, the first winner of the Bill Hilson Award, was director of photography.

In 1967, Hall was production manager on the Disney feature King of the Grizzlies in Calgary. That was the year he started Cinequip as a division of Robert Lawrence Productions, providing, as an inaugural project, all of the camera, grip and lighting equipment for Grizzlies. In 1977, Hall bought Cinequip when Robert Lawrence sold off its assets, and the rest is history.

"The only other rental company at the time we started was Janet Good's Canadian Motion Picture Equipment Rentals. Initially, I used to quote jobs with Bill White Sr. - Bill and I worked on crew together on The Last of the Mohicans - and then he started his lighting company (William F. White Ltd.). We did the first and only Todd-AO anamorphic picture in Canada, Why Shoot the Teacher? (1976), which Marc Champion csc shot."

With Hall's usual support and hospitality, Cinequip was the classroom for the earliest CSC Camera Assistants' Courses.
Hall died peacefully at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto on Dec. 8, with a funeral service on Dec. 12. Donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis. Survivors include his wife, Edythe, children Michael, Dianne, Carrie and Rosemary and eight grandchildren.

The CSC offers its condolences to the family.

Thank You Catherine

CINEQUIP Owner / President Donald F. Hall retires

Company sold to William F. White
September 2001

Cinequip Inc. of Toronto has been sold to William F. White Ltd. and owner/president Don Hall is retiring this month after nearly 35 years at the helm. Vice-president John Ferguson will continue as manager.

Hall started Cinequip as a division of Robert Lawrence Productions in 1967. The new company provided, as an inaugural project, all of the camera, grip and lighting equipment for the Disney feature King of the Grizzlies in Calgary, on which Hall was production manager. In 1977, Hall bought Cinequip when Robert Lawrence sold off its assets.

“I’ve done a little of everything,” Hall told the CSC News in 1997 when he was presented with the Bill Hilson Award by the CSC for outstanding service contributing to the development of the motion picture industry. In the early ’50s, “I actually was a carpenter by trade,” working under his father at Maple Leaf Gardens and helping to build stage shows at the Royal Alexandra Theatre and the CNE grandstand.

During time off, Hall worked on film shoots like the Stratford production of Oedipus Rex at the old Lakeshore Studio and The Last of the Mohicans, “originally as a carpenter and then as a grip during the shoot.” When Robert Lawrence Productions came to Toronto in 1954, Hall got a job building sets, then worked his way up from grip to production manager, vice-president and eventually executive producer in charge of all production.

“They were a big company at that time, with a staff of between 50 and 75 people,” Hall recalled, “and many times we’d shoot five and six commercial productions a day.” In 1965-66, he was production manager for the nine-camera, 360-degree Walt Disney Circlevision that screened at the Telephone Pavilion at Expo ’67 in Montreal. Fritz Spiess csc, the first winner of the Bill Hilson Award, was director of photography.

When he started Cinequip, “the only other rental company at the time was Janet Good’s Canadian Motion Picture Equipment Rentals. Initially, I used to quote jobs with Bill White Sr. — Bill and I worked on crew together on The Last of the Mohicans — and then he started his lighting company (William F. White Ltd.). We did the first and only Todd-AO anamorphic picture in Canada, Why Shoot the Teacher? (1976), which Marc Champion csc shot.” Cinequip, classroom for the earliest CSC Camera Assistants Courses, got out of film cameras in the ’80s and into a wide range of specialty equipment sales and rentals.

The CSC wishes Don and his wife all the best for a long and happy retirement.
