Jon’s greatest love in life was playing folk, bluegrass, blues and roots music on the banjo, guitar, mandolin and mountain dulcimer. He played music at many venues including the Indiana State Fair, Eagle Creek Park, and various folk festivals and farmers markets. He made many lifelong friends along his life journey through his music and influenced many people to also learn to play and sing.
Jon is survived by brothers Jeff (Brenda) Hall of Mooresville, IN and Jerome (Becky) Hall of Ste. Genevieve, MO. He was preceded in death by his parents.
Special thanks to Evelyn Schwein and her family for both providing care and being a loving friend to Jon during these past few years.
