James “Jim” F. Hall, age 65, of Alta Loma, California, died suddenly in the early hours of the morning on Thursday, January 14, 2016 in the comfort of his home. Well-known for his meticulous mechanical design abilities, Jim was an entrepreneur who founded his own company, TRI*Net, Inc., in 1990. He was also an avid lover of golf, which he enjoyed playing with his son at every available opportunity. A licensed pilot, Jim also had a passion for taking to the skies in a single-engine Cessna 150 airplane. Jim was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania to James M. Hall and Mary Jo Hall on June 9, 1950. The eldest son and namesake of his father, Jim had three brothers and two sisters. After graduating Richland High School, he moved to Pittsburgh to study electronics. He was quickly hired by Honeywell in Lowell, Massachusetts, where he met his wife of 42 years, Rosemarie (McLaughlin). Jim and Rose were married on June 30, 1973 and shortly thereafter moved to Merrimack, New Hampshire. Several houses and promotions later, Jim moved with his wife and new son, James Robert Hall, to his final residence in Alta Loma, California, where he lived for 28 years. He is survived by both his wife and son. A memorial mass will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, February 4, 2016 at St. Anthony’s Parish in Upland, California. Final interment at Oak Park Cemetery in Claremont, California shall occur later that afternoon.
