James Lamar Hall Sr.

James Lamar Hall, Sr. – 73 of Valdosta, Georgia – a great husband, father, and papa has gone to be with the Lord on October 6, 2020 at his home surrounded by family. He touched so many lives throughout his life time. He met a lot of good people during his painting career and was such a blessing with the singing ministry in church.
