Timothy Ball Obituary

BALL, Timothy Francis November 5, 1938 - September 24, 2022 Predeceased by his son, Douglas, aged 8 in 1970. Survived by his wife of 61 years, Marty, son David (Crystal), grandchildren, Devon and Ainsley, son Tim (Leann), step-grandaughter Carly (Aaron Lo), and step-great-grandchildren, Liam and Nash. Tim came to Canada from England in 1957 at the age of 17. He worked in Toronto and Sudbury until 1960 when he joined the RCAF as an Aircrew Radio Operator. He was trained in Winnipeg, where he met and married Marty, who was a student nurse at St. Boniface Hospital. Tim became interested in the climate while on Search and Rescue in the north out of Winnipeg. He got out of the Airforce in September 1968 and went to University. He received his BA Honours at the University of Winnipeg, (United College), his Masters (Climatology) at the University of Manitoba. He taught as a lecturer at the University of Winnipeg in 1972 and completed his PhD, (Climatology) at Queen Mary College at the University of London, England. Tim spent the better part of his career trying to convince the world that 'Anthropogenic Global Warming' was a man-made hoax. He fought lawsuits, death threats, website hackings, lies and attacks, too numerous to mention. A sense of humour unequaled. Generous to a fault. Messages of condolence may be made at www.generalistjournal.com There will be no public celebrations. No charitable donations and/or flowers, please. Just share a moment with the ones you love.

Dr. Ball was my 1st year Physical Geography prof at UofW in 1978. I was overwhelmed by university and went to Dr. Ball´s office in order to withdraw from his class and then on to my other profs.
Dr. Ball talked with me for over an hour, calmed my fears and convinced me that I should complete the year and see how it goes. I did and went on to get my degree. From there I moved on to a career that I wouldn´t have had were it not for my post secondary education. I did well, enjoyed a successful career, got married and raised a family. I owe Dr.Ball a lot for his kindness and sage advice. Thank you sir. Rest well.
