Mr. Ballard was so kind and just wanted to help people excel. He thought me alot while being a Underwriting Clerk. Am so thankful that God put you in my path of life it was truly an honor and blessing.

In memory of Mr. Thomas A Ballard, after four years his memory still remain fresh in my mind of his kindness and his knowledge that he so freely shared with me. After all this time, I am still using some of the things he taught me.
I will always remember him and forever be thankful our paths crossed. Hazel L Jacobs

To the Ballard family:
I am so sorry to hear this about Mr. Ballard. He was my Assistant Manager at the Oakland Office of the CSAA for many years.
Mr. Ballard was so nice to me and very protective as an Asst. Mgr. I owe him a lot for being nice to me. He was a nice person, as a person, and as an Asst. Manager. He was very professional in dealing with employees. He had class in dressing up, so neat and classy. He taught me a lot as an employee.
He was very knowledgeable about the cashier dept...He always gave me a helping hand whenever there was a problem. I cannot describe him adequately as my Asst, Manager. He was very easy to work for and work with. My sympathy goes out to you at this time of sorrow.

To the Ballard family my condolences to you my prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. I had the great pleasure to work with Mr. Ballard at California State Automoible Association in the Oakland office. He was not just my assistant manager he was my mentor. To me he was a great man he loved his family always speaking of his wife and children. He was so knowledgeable and such a great dresser. I thank God for allowing us to work together I learned alot from him.
