Jack D. Hall
Jack (JD) Hall, 77, of Wee Ma Tuk, passed away peacefully with his loved ones by his side on Saturday, July 24, 2021, at Graham Hospital in Canton.
He was born to Charles G. and Dorothy I. (Kirkpatrick) Hall.
He married Cindy (Ruffatto) Hall on February 28, 1964. She survives.

One brother whom he raised as a son, Bobby (Bobby Jo) Hall, two sisters, Joyce Price special niece, Jenny (Josh) Gilstrap and daughter Gianna, sister Judy (John) Ingle, and several nieces and nephews.
Jack was an avid ball player in his formative years with the Sunday morning league. He went on to play fast pitch softball with "Bims" winning the State Championship Tournament in 1974. His daughters said, "we were raised on the bleachers" and could remember him with his intimidating voice as a catcher. He was a legend on the ball field.
He then continued to carry on his love of sports with coaching his daughter's softball team, always giving freely, his time and support also with his grandkids with coaching their YMCA mini basketball teams to always being on the sidelines as their #1 fan.
Jack first worked as a General Foreman at the International Harvester Canton Plant in Department 19 for 22 ½ years. He later joined country Companies in 1983 and then became owner of the Jack Hall Agency until his death.
In his later years Jack dedicated much time to assisting Navistar (International Harvester) Retirees. He had an enormous heart always giving a helpful hand "his way" whenever needed. Jack loved the St. Louis Cardinals and Fighting Illini. He enjoyed going to Bradley Braves Basketball games with his friend Ted. He loved to watch his granddaughter Lexi golf for the University of South Dakota, he traveled many miles to watch her over her career and was her #1 fan. He has always been an endless support to his grandson Zach in his pursuit to further his career in becoming a firefighter. He was always there for his family and there wasn't anything he wouldn't had done for them. He exemplified a life of generosity, kindness, positive attitude, and integrity with everyone he met.
