Dear Sister Hall and family. My heart is full with love for you all. What a privilege I had to be apart of your lives growing up and especially being taught by Brother Hall. I will never forget the love and encouragement he gave me and my family as we grew up in Long Branch. I long to see him again in Paradise on earth under Jehovah's Kingdom by the rule of his son Jesus Christ. Love you all.

To Rosa and family, Judith and Donald join in your time of sorrow, but we are also glad that we are able to reflect on those years filled with joy and happiness. I personally can and always will remember how Joe became my special mentor and helped sound down the truth into my heart more than forty years ago. So I thank both you and Joe for being there to reach out and with Jehovah's Spirit clarify the kingdom teaching. I will miss his loving concern and interest and how he always put the kingdom and family first. Although we have lost a brother and you a husband, remember we will always have our local and international family to reach out to. May we all endure and maintain our integrity so that we can greet Joe in Paradise as God has promised. As always, Donald & Judith Reeves Atlanta, GA

Dear Rosa and family, we are truly saddened by the loss of our brother, mentor, and a friend who stood by us during our difficulties growing up. I tell everyone how Joe influenced my manner of teaching and speaking. He truly was the most intelligent man i've ever and yet but, so down to earth and loving. Hope to speak with you soon.

I was saddened by the loss of Brother Hall. The last time I was in New Jersey I had the pleasure of spending time with him and relishing in his company as he adamantly demanded to have "LIVER" for dinner. It was quite hilarious. He called me his "little indian girl" and KNEW that I was Shay. Some of my fondest childhood memories are at the Hall's home in Long Branch. I particularly remember spending a lot of time on the porch talking and being with the family. See you in Paradise Pa Pa Hall. Life everlasting is what Jehovah has promised. I can't wait! ; - ) Love, Shay Shay
