Ethnicity & Family History

His mother, Martha was Scottish and his father Jimmie was Irish. They immigrated to the United States in 1947. They lived in Conn. with Jimmie’s sister prior to moving to Sunland around 1950. They lived at 10266 Wescott Ave. Joe lived in Los Angeles, Reno, Lake Tahoe, San Diego and finally, Thailand. After the sudden & tragic death of his brother, Jim, aged just 38 in 1979, his mother Martha moved to Sparks, Nevada around 1980. She spent time with her grandchildren, all 4 of them Joe’s. After she died in 1997, he moved abroad. His children visited him throughout the year and one of them continues to spend part of the year there.
Nationality & Locations

John was born in Portadown, County Armagh, Ireland, immigrating to the United States in 1947. His childhood was spent at 10266 Wescott Ave. in Sunland, California. As an adult, Joe lived in Los Angeles, Reno, Lake Tahoe, San Diego and eventually, Thailand. He lived in Thailand for around 20 years and passed away in his adopted country.
Early Life & Education

Joe attended Verdugo Hills High School in Sunland-Tijunga, graduating in 1962.
Religious Beliefs

He was a Protestant. Apparently his mother, Martha, couldn’t abide his wife being a Catholic. (They married anyway.) The final straw to him moving out of the house was fighting with Martha over his Catholic girlfriend/fiancé (not sure which it was at the time) and eventually Martha got so pissed off, she hit him over the head with a skillet to try to ‘knock some sense’ in to him.
Professional Career

Property management & real estate investment. He was quite savvy.

John Joseph Hall’s childhood home

Located at 10226 Westcott Avenue in Sunland, a suburb of Los Angeles, this is where Joe lived from 1950 until just before he was married (apprx 67) during the 1960s.

His father died in the master bedroom on Christmas Day, 1963. The house stayed in the family until Martha sold it following the death of son, Jim, in 1979. The interior has been completely remodelled, but the outside remains exactly as it did when the home was built in 1949 & throughout the time the Hall family owned it.

When the Shot Meant For Your Little Brother Ends Up In the Neighbour’s Door…

My mum grew up in Sunland, California (Los Angeles County) on the same street as John - or ‘Joe’ as she called him. The first time they met, Joe and his brother Jim were playing on a trailer while they were moving in to their house on Wescott. My mum went down to say hi and play. Joe tried to beat her up and she fought back immediately. He backed down and they became the best of friends after that.

They played cowboys & Indians and generally appeared to have terrorised their older siblings. One time Joe had done something to infuriate his older brother, Jim. Jim went & retrieved a bee-bee gun and started shooting at Joe as he ran across the steer to my mum’s house. Apparently there was a bullet/bee-bee hole in the door. He didn’t hit Joe, but it was close!

She has many lovely memories of him & has tried to track him down for years. One not-always-reliable website makes it appear that he’s been deceased since July, 2020, though I’m not sure if that’s true. It would make my mum happy to know how he’s doing if anyone knows him or his children. His older brother died sometime in the 1970s and his mother in 1997. The Halls were a lovely family & I hope his children and grandchildren enjoyed him as much as my mum did! Throughout my entire life, I can’t recall any friend she’s mentioned with the frequency and fondness that she has John ‘Joe’ Hall.

Well, unfortunately, it appears that Joe has passed away. I managed to find him, but found him too late. Somehow a phone number lead to his daughter’s ex boyfriend (whoops!) and he was able to confirm Joe’s passing, but he didn’t have the details. In any case, rest in peace, Joe. I wish I’d been able to meet you or hear a few stories in your own words. May you be at rest with your parents & brother.
