John Morgan Hall, “Jack”
July 6, 1935 – June 6, 2022
On Monday, June 6, John Hall, loving husband and father of five children, passed away peacefully at the age of 86. “Jack” was born on July 6, 1935 in Prince Frederick, Maryland to Dorman and Ione Hall. He grew up working on his father’s tobacco farm alongside siblings Hugh, Bob, Wes, and Charlotte. After graduating from Calvert High School in 1954, he and his brother Bob joined the United States Navy as airmen, traveling the world. Settling down in 1961, Jack married his only love Vera Barbehenn and relocated to Washington, D.C., where he opened his first business, a barbershop. Always curious and ambitious, he developed a successful real estate business and a popular neighborhood restaurant, Jons’ Pizza and Subs, and a crabhouse, Crabs-A-Plenty, located in Riverdale. Aside from his passion for the restaurant, Jack loved hunting on the Eastern Shore where time was spent laughing and joking, making food for his buddies, and―occasionally―hunting. And without fail, Jack could be found at the head of the dining room table every Sunday after church, gathered around his family, doing what he truly enjoyed: spending time with his loved ones. Jack and Vera continued their work at the restaurant until 1999, when they returned to Calvert County to rebuild their home along the shore of the Patuxent River where he was born. Jack was known for a sun-up to sun-down work ethic, humor, humility, his genuine care for others, and a smile that would light up a room. He was known by his family, friends, and community as one to give happily to anyone in need. Whether it be cash, crabs, or construction, Jack was a support to all who knew him. His Christian attitude of love shined in his willingness to serve God and others first.
He is survived by his wife Vera, and his five children: Kimberly, John, Belinda, Susan, and Becky; his thirteen grandchildren: Joshua, Daniel, Ken Jr., Shelby, Jack, Wesley, Sam, Elijah, Lilli, Jonathan, Anna, Maxwell, and Reagan; his six great-grandchildren: Kylie, Carter, Kinsley, Vera-Jean, Kimberly, Kenneth, and his beloved Yorkie: Hannah.
Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, June 15, 2022 at the Church By The Chesapeake on Broomes Island Road in Port Republic. The viewing will begin at 10:00 followed by the service at 11:00 am.

Vera & family, So sorry for your loss. Have not seen Jack for awhile but knew he was not well. When we where growing up as children their farm was next door to ours. Jack was older but Wes was nearer in age. We all grew up on tabacco farms. After our work was done we swam in the river, played ball, in the winter was ice skating, sleeding. Where Jack & Wes’s grandfather lived on the farm had the best hill. They where the good old days. Time goes by and we loose track of time, friends and sometimes family but the memories remain. May the blessings of the good Lord be with the families & May Jesus wrap his arms around you and lean on him during this time.

Thank you so much for sharing the memories of time on the farm and kind words about my family. My family spent our summers on the farm while Dad and Mom fixed up the homestead. While we never worked in the tobacco fields, we picked a lot of beans and other vegetables (endless rows ????) with Grandmother Hall.and always enjoyed time with Uncle Wes. While my Dad will be sorely missed, he is fully restored and most likely bringing even more smiles to heaven 
Fondly,
