Jack J. Hall, 73, died Monday, March 6, 2000, in Fort Worth following a courageous battle with multiple myeloma.
A special service celebrating his life with favorite songs and personal reminiscences was held in Arlington on March 10, burial was March 11 in Oakwood Cemetery in Honey Grove.
Jack J. Hall was born on August 30, 1926, in Noble, Texas, the son of the late Grover and Nora Hall of Honey Grove.
He attended school in Honey Grove and graduated from his beloved high school where he was vice president of his senior class. He loved his classmates and especially enjoyed being with them at class reunions and the reminiscing and good food at Mary Jo's. He was a member of the Methodist Church and served in the U.S. Navy during World War II and again during the Korean War as a radio/photo operator. He participated in "Operation Crossroads," the atomic bomb tests at Bikini Atoll in 1946 while serving on the flagship for the operation, the USS Mount McKinley. Jack attended and graduated in 1948 from East Texas State University, Commerce, Texas, with a BS degree.
In 1950, Jack married the light of his life, Ima Jean Riddles, of Honey Grove.
Jack and Jean would have celebrated 50 wonderful years of marriage in September of this year.
He was a longtime employee of Lone Star Gas Company at various locations including Wichita Falls, Abilene, Vernon, Arlington and Dallas. Jack served as director of operations training and support group in Dallas prior to his retirement in 1989 after 42 years. He was an active member of the Arlington Senior Men's Golf Association and was honored in 1999 with the "Man Of The Year" award for his contributions to the club.
He was preceded in death by his brother, Billy Ben Hall, who lost his life serving in the Navy in 1942.
Jack, a man of great integrity was loved and respected by all who had the honor to have known him. His smile, patience, easy way and willingness to help anyone in need have been an inspiration to his family and friends. His strength, courage and love of life will remain in our hearts forever. He was and always will be "our superman" - how lucky we have been.
Survivors include his loving wife, Ima Jean Hall; children, Pam Hall of Fort Worth and Randy Hall of Arlington; brothers, Leo Keith Hall of Arlington and Clyde Hall of Honey Grove; sister, Joanne Hall Dufilho of Horseshoe, N.C.; sisters-in-law, Vera Mae Hall, Sara E.
