In Memory

This page is devoted to the memory of Bruce David Pall, the son of Blanche and John Pall born April 27, 1949.
In 1953 he moved with his family to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Shortly thereafter he came down with Polio and spent several weeks in Varity Children's Hospital in Miami. His mother also came down with Polio while he was in the hospital but not as devastating as Bruce. He spent the next 10 years undergoing many operations and therapy to correct damage to the muscles in both legs.
In 1958 the family returned to New Jersey where when he was 17 he had both feet operated on to correct the bone structure, this seemed to be the answer to his problem though not perfect. He missed most of his senior year at Morris Knolls Regional High School and therefore he decided to stay another year. While at the school he became interested in the high school marching band and also the school orchestra where he played the Baritone horn. He also kept the scores for the basketball games.

After graduating from high school he attended Graham Junior College in Boston, MA. He graduated with an Associate Degree in Communications and found work at the K-Mart in Morris Plains, N.J., he never did anything with the degree but it sounded good. It was while working there that he met Beverly Dolores Meslar whom he married on March 8, 1972. They moved to Ormond Beach, FL where he found work at Orkin Exterminating Company and learned the trade. He later left Orkin, after getting four state licenses in pest control and went with a new company, All America Termite and Pest Control in Orlando, FL. as one of the first 10 original employees. He worked his way up the ladder and became the company's Purchasing Agent.

Bruce was also very passionate in his work with the church. He sang in the church choir and was also co-leader of the youth group. He headed the organ committee, raising the most money for the purchase of the new organ. While he was involved in raising money for the church bells he came down with lymphoma and requested in his obit that people continue to donate to the fund after he died.

Bruce was a home body, he loved to be with his family and his two children. He was also very interested in photography, having won first prize for the state of Florida for a picture in the Canada Dry, America Beautiful Contest. He also got Honorable Mention for the U.S.A.

While he was working for All America he taught classes on pest control and upon his passing the room was named after him. There was also a yearly award for those "who have supported the field in their efforts to achieve their goals". These people were chosen by three bodies "the fields, the home office and by the department heads"
