Rev. John S. Hall

REV. JOHN S. HALL
Reverend John S. Hall was born on February 14, 1941 to the late Savatz and MaeBelle Hall in Hamtramck Michigan. The family relocated to South Carolina before finally settling in Bridgeport, Connecticut in the late 1940s.
He graduated from Bassick High School and enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps to serve our country. He was honorably discharged and met the love of his life, Louise. He began working for the U.S. Postal Service in Stamford, Connecticut but he was also a machinist by trade. He had an aptitude for numbers and loved complex mathematical equations which aided his success in the machining industry for many years. He worked for companies like Avco Lycoming, Moore Special Tool Co. and Automated Design Concepts to name a few.
He started his own business with his longtime close friend Leif Jacobson forming J&L Products LLC in Shelton, Connecticut. Nearing retirement, he worked as a custodian in the Bridgeport Public School system. John shifted his focus to his faith in 1985 the year that his beloved granddaughter Erica was born.
He had a love for the word of God and for His people. He was a faithful member of Full Gospel COGIC for many years. He had the honor and privilege of being the Chief Adjutant for Bishop T.W. Plummer, a role which he cherished.
He again shifted focus to care for his loving wife Louise of 55 years whom he affectionately called Weezy. They shared their love for God and the church and both had served at Full Gospel faithfully until her health declined. Along with their children he cared for her until she passed away in 2019. After losing the love of his life his own health declined and he would soon be reunited with her two years, one month and four days later. J.S. and Weezy are together forever.
He leaves to honor his memory three sisters: Ann Lynch (Fred) of FL; Rosalie Banks (Dasal) of NC; and Mary Bert (Alonza) of CT. He leaves two brothers: James Hall (Lois); and Alexander Hall (Brenda) which both reside in CT. He leaves two children: David Israel (Elisha) formerly Clinton and Denise Hall; and Tina Hall-McClain (Jion) who reside in CT. He leaves five grandchildren: Erica Ortiz (Luis); Jonathan Hall (Hannah); Stephen Hall; Aaron Hall and Asher Israel formerly Kyle Hall. He leaves three great grandchildren Angelise, Octavius and Olivia Ortiz along with a host of cousins, nieces, nephews and friends who will miss him dearly.
