Obituary of Robert A. Hall
Robert A. “Rob” Hall, age 49, of Crest Hill, and a lifelong area resident, passed away suddenly, Friday, July 14, 2017 in the emergency room of Presence St. Joseph Medical Center surrounded by his loving family.
Born February 9, 1968 in Joliet, he was a graduate of Joliet West High School. He was a proud member of Laborers International Union of North America, Local #75.
Rob was the most loving son his parents could have ever asked for, and was an amazing big brother and best friend to Suzy. He was an avid motorcycle enthusiasts and a great cook who loved ghost hunting and vegetable gardening. He was never afraid to take on a new project or to help others with their projects. Rob also loved all the family gatherings that took place at his parent’s home.
Rob bore many crosses during his lifetime suffering from a number of chronic illnesses. He underwent dialysis for many years prior to, through the grace of God and the generosity of others, becoming a kidney transplant recipient in 1997. He handled his hardships with a humbleness and optimistic attitude which were a constant inspiration to his family and friends. He also never lost his sense of humor.
Surviving are his parents, Robert J. and Judith K. (McCure) Hall of Joliet; two daughters, Jessica L. and Chyanne Christine; his sister, Suzanna (Porf) Ibarra; his nephew and God son, Antonio Ibarra; his niece, Rosalinda Ibarra; his faithful dog, Cookie; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
