My wife and I are 1969 graduates of Jacksonville High School. We reflect warmly on Mr. Hall and what a fine teacher and person he was and will forever be in our memories.
He truly was a fine person and shaped us both with his integrity, caring, sense of humor and so many other qualities of the great man he was.
He will be missed.

Sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Hall. We lived down the road from him for many years. Saw him at the JHS Class of 1965 Reunion last year.
