Jim was an awesome person who welcomed me into his home and give me work anytime I needed the money and would do anything for you anytime you ask. I'm so sorry I didn't know or I would have been there.. we had became great friends and he always treated me like family.. I sure will miss you Jim your friendship meant the world to me. Glen..
Our community lost another great one. Some called him James, Mr Hall, Coach, Teacher, dad, husband, teammate, mentor, neighbor but all referred to him as a friend. Coach Hall exemplified what it ment to be a leader in the classroom and in life. He always was looking for those coaching moments on and off the court to help others. As my teacher and basketball coach at AJ he helped mold me into the person i am today. As an adult he got to watch my son and daughter play their selected sport. Even 30yrs later he had to point out all the great things they did on the court and the attitudes they showed to coaches, teammates and officials. As he pointed out specific examples as they played he asked did you teach them that? I finally got to thank him in believing in me all those years ago by simply stating "no sir you did!" Believe it or not I was listening in practice and passed your knowledge on to them. He simply nodded his head to say thank you. Never one to take credit, bragg, or want personal recognition he just had to reply maybe Bobby but I never showed you how to jump that high, dig that ball, make that pass ect ect. Thank you coach for everything you did and will do through the next generations as your memories and knowledge of life will live on.
We are so grateful to Coach Hall for being a wonderful soccer coach and life mentor to our daughter and her teammates. We enjoyed visiting with coach over the years as both a neighbor and at Katey's elementary school events. Thank you coach, for all of your hard work with area youth.
Please accept our sincere condolences his passing.
Bob, Lorie, Natosha & Gavin
So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. My deepest sympathy to his wife & family! Jim was a kind & humble person & a good friend for years! Prayers for God's peace & comfort for all his family & friends!🙏
Jim was My assistant Basketball coach at Andrew Jackson Middle School for three seasons in the mid-90's. I'm glad he took the job because we had a really good relationship. He really enjoyed coaching and cared about the kids.
After AJ coaching I sought him out when I started coaching soccer and he gave me a lot of material to learn a solid system.
I really enjoyed my times with Jim. He will be missed. Prayers and condolences for Jim's family.
Jim was a good neighbor snd friend. Been neighbors for over 25 years. He will really be missed. Randy loved standing out on street talking to him.
With sympathy for Charlotte and family.
