George Jeffrey Hall

George Jeffrey Hall, the man, the myth, the legend passed away on Monday, May 4, 2015. Men wanted to be him and women wanted to be with him. Jeff loved a good stiff one and had a life-long love affair with potato chips and pumpkin pie. He enjoyed spending time with his lovely significant other, children and grandchildren.

Jeff was a man of character and instilled in his children honesty, work ethic and the importance of an education. Although not a college graduate himself, he stressed upon his children the importance of earning a college degree. Despite having attended the University of Texas (where he had a bit too much fun), Jeff was very devoted to all things Texas A&M, often donating to the Williamson County A&M Club scholarship fund. He attributed his morality to his father, Jack Hall Sr., and did his best to do what his father would do in any given situation.

Jeff was loved by good women, had loyal friends, and three children who are gorgeous and bright, so they must have gotten it from their mother. His brothers always argued over who the “good” was in the battle of the good, the bad, and the ugly. As they say, only the good die young, so we all know who had the last say – but there is now a fierce competition for title of “ugly.”

Jeff is preceded in death by his father, Jack Hall Sr., and mother Virginia Smith. Jeff, always being early everywhere he went, even in death, left behind his brother Jack & wife Carolyn, John & wife Lucy and their daughter Katherine; his sons Jeremiah Hall & wife Charlene, Lucas & wife Alma; his daughter Amy Hall & her husband Chris Kolinek; his significant other Helen Hansen; and several grandchildren whom he found much joy in. Any sendoff would not be complete without mentioning his lifelong friend, Alan Bennett, who was often his partner in crime.

Jeff battled many health issues over the course of thirty years, but ultimately met his death when he took up lion taming, a hobby he, apparently, was not very good at. Or maybe not. We all know how he liked to tell stories.

There will be private services to honor his life and celebrate the man who inspired everyone he met.

The family asks that in lieu of flowers, a donation be made to the Texas Neurofibromatosis Foundation.
