Dennis R. Hall
December 18, 1944 — January 8, 2014
WORCESTER – Dennis R. Hall, 69, of Mountainshire Dr., was stricken ill on Monday and passed away on Wednesday, January 8, 2014 at UMass Memorial Medical Center, University Campus. Dennis was the son of Joseph Scucko and Maxine C. (Mandell) Hall and lived his entire life in Worcester.
Dennis graduated from Commerce High School in 1963 and worked at Astra Pharmaceuticals in Worcester, now AstraZeneca in Westborough, for 38 years retiring in 2002. He passionately enjoyed his part-time career as a host DJ at various local venues including a Muscular Dystrophy Association benefit which proceeds went directly to Jerry’s Kids. Music was an important part of Dennis’ life, particularly music of the 50's and 60’s era. He was a wealth of knowledge when it came to recollecting musical artists, their stories and the record labels they played under. Playing the Massachusetts Lottery was his favorite pastime. His greatest joy in life was vacationing with his wife on their many cruises or just staying home and spending time together with their three cats.
