A fathering of unwavering love, he taught his children the value of strong work ethics and honesty, always fixing things—from cars to broken hearts. He considered being a father and husband were his greatest accomplishments. Seeing his kids as his superheroes.
He is survived by his devoted wife, Celia of 63 years. children: Gina Square Hall (Larry Hall), Wilbert Square Musa (Tigist Tamene), and Ahkeenu Square Musa. Eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
He will be remembered for his booming laugh, for being in service to others, and collecting historical information on African American and various other cultures and sharing his love and knowledge of history with others.
The sun sets behind the hills as I try to win in drive mad unblocked and the bumpy road feels like a puzzle under my wheels.
The World knows now of a true Warrior, a Caretaker, an all around family man and never least but the advocate of the Word of God. My uncle whom I share the same middle name. I will forever keep his memory in my heart. Love you Uncle Eugene, take your rest!
Love you Dad, You're the best dad any son could ever have. I have picked up the Baton and I am carrying on the legacy you have left me. Thankful for your lifetime of wonderful insight and teaching.
One of the most admirable men I’ve known in my lifetime. Totally unique. I’ll miss him greatly! Larry Hall (Son-in-law)
