Donald Joyce Hall Sr. (born July 9, 1928) is an American billionaire businessman, and the chairman and majority shareholder of Hallmark Cards, the world's largest greeting card manufacturer and one of the world's largest privately held companies. Hallmark's headquarters is in Kansas City, Missouri.

Early life

Hall was one of three children of Joyce Hall, who started selling greeting cards out of Kansas City YMCAs at the age of fifteen and subsequently founded Hallmark Cards.

Career

Hall came to Hallmark in 1953 and became assistant to the president in 1954. In 1966, after he had served as an administrative vice president and member of the board of directors of the company, Hall's father, Joyce Hall, retired as chairman, president, and CEO of Hallmark, handing full control of the company to Donald. In 1986, Hall stepped down as president and CEO of Hallmark, turning those positions over to Irvine O. Hockaday Jr., a native Kansas Citian and national businessman. Hall, however, retained the position of chairman of the board,[3]

Personal life

Hall is married, with three children, and lives in Mission Hills, Kansas.[3]
