Jerry Hall, age 73, of Bush, LA, passed away on Thursday, June 8, 2017, in 
Slidell. 

Jerry traveled the country as a child, as his Dad was a lineman, but the family 
always returned to their home in Slidell.  He lived in Slidell as a teenager, 
graduated from Slidell High and attended Lafayette University.  He played 
baseball and basketball with his team winning the 1958-59 Class A State 
Championship for Slidell High.  During his adult life, he resided in Metairie 
(first marriage) and later settled in MS after buying a houseboat and 
ultimately Bush, LA in the swamp and living aboard the houseboat.  In between, 
he traveled to Hawaii, Costa Rica, up and down the east coast and the west 
coast.

He worked various jobs ranging from space exploration research to car 
dealerships.  Before retiring early to work on the houseboat, he was in the 
transportation industry as a dispatcher, partnered to start his own trucking 
company and was an agent for various major trucking companies.

Jerry loved to work on cars but especially enjoyed driving autocross and 
racing.  He was a member of various car clubs locally and regionally and a 
founding father of FPA (Ford Performance Association) which is still going 
strong.  He played a little golf but not often.  Enjoyed tennis and 
participated in many charitable tennis tournaments partnering with his grandson 
and other tennis buddies and played league tennis up to Super Senior level.  He 
loved living on the water and watching the surrounding wildlife.  He fished a 
bit, liked boat rides and back in the day actually water skied and wake 
boarded.     

His favorite dinner was a good filet mignon with a bottle of Pinot Noir all 
though he did like to barbecue for family and friends.  If it involved family, 
good food and wine, he was ready. 

He will be very much missed by all who knew and loved him.

Jerry is survived by his wife, Barbara Hall; a son, Tim Hall; two daughters, 
Karen Alleman and Kelli Patin, their significant others Lydia Miller, Mark 
Alleman and Daniel Patin; a brother, Gary Hall; one sister, Janet Stansberry; 
two grandchildren, four great grandchildren, and his Mom, Vera Hall.

No formal services will be held; however, there will be a celebration of life 
gathering for family and close friends on Fathers Day, June 18, 2017.
