Dale Henriod Ballard

Dale and I were in contact many times and I respected his business ethic and friendship. He was interested in our little company, Dexide, Inc.

Mr. B.
It's been a little over a year now and I still find myself thinking of you nearly every day. When you left us I struggled with the idea that I had so much more to learn from you. As time has gone by I've realized I will never stop learning from you. Everyone has commented on the impact you've had on our lives. I hope you know you are still having an impact. A true testimony of the wonderful human being you are. The example you set for me will be with me for the rest of my life. My...

Dale, Mr. B,

Your impact on my life in the business world will never be forgotten. Work hard, work smart, and have fun.

I'm sure that I am not the only member of the Deseret family that says "Thanks" and you will be missed.

Uncle Dale, Aunt Alice and their family included me when I was in 6th grade on their family vacation to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. It was great! Uncle Dale purchased his 160-acre farm in Draper in 1964 from Elmer Madsen. He was so happy to have his own farm. Some of it hadn't been developed--in fact 80 acres had never been plowed. He made numerous improvements including drains, cement ditches and cultivation. It was a beautiful farm. Uncle Dale loved to eat peaches. His sweet daughter, Pamela,...

Hey Dale,
It was an aboslute pleasure! I am still telling stories about you. Thanks for every thing you did in your life. Well done!

My first meeting with Dale was in May or June 1998 when Kimberly-Clark was interested in aquiring Ballard Medical. We met early and about 7:15 or 7:30 after a few pleasantries, Dale called over the intercom for an executive staff meeting in his office. He then pulled out a deck of cards and soon there were a number of Ballard team mates of...

Thank you Mr. B. for the opportunity and your generosity. I began my career with Ballard Medical Products in 1988. I didn't know what stock options were then. I have learned a great deal during my career with Ballard and now K-C. Hard work, entrepreneurial spirit and generosity are the values that I carry with me today as a result of my time at Ballard Medical Products.

My wife, Debbie and I are among those whose lives you changed with your generosity. We try to live our lives...

I would like to express my most heartfelt sympathies to the Ballard family. Mr. Ballard always had an open door and a sympathetic ear. He is truly an extraordinary man and has left a tremendous legacy. My life is better for having known Dale Ballard. Thank you for your kindness and leadership that has blessed the lives of many.

Our hearts go out to your entire family. He was a special man with many talents. May you find peace and joy in the coming days ahead as your minds are flooded with the many special memories of your father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.

Mr. B.
Thank you for the wonderful company and opportunities. I was a single mom and somehow found you and Ballard Medical. She's 24 today and getting married. All our kids are doing well as we had Ballard Medical helping us raise them. God Bless and keep you.
Love you forever....Marianne and Sam
