Gabriel Andrew Pall
WILLIAMSBURG Gabriel Andrew Pall, 88, passed away Monday, Jan. 18, 2021, after living with Parkinson’s for many years.
He was born Oct. 6, 1932, in Budapest, Hungary. The son of Dr. Gábor Páll and Andrea Kauser, he is survived by his wife of 36 years, Christine Rose of Williamsburg, and their daughter, Laura Rose Pall (Christopher Butler) of Newport News; and sister, Edina Thiry (Alexander) of Lima, Ohio.
His early years were spent in Hungary and what is now Romania, but after the post-World War II Soviet occupation of Hungary and the failed Hungarian Revolution of 1956, he was forced to flee Hungary, escaping to Austria with little more than the clothes on his back.
