Gary R. Ballis

I moved from Akron very long ago. I just found out 3 years late that Gary lost his life in 2020. I found out by watching and Investigation Discovery 2 nights ago. I tuned in late and saw it was about Akron, Ohio, and then heard just a last name. I told my husband that I grew up with and knew a Gary Ballis. Then they said his first name and showed photos and I knew it was him. I am just so sorry for him and his family that this happened. I grew up in the same neighborhood, and went to Central...

and your still missed.. in my posts of politics and my dreams of a better tomorrow... in my growth of my gardens and my inbox late in the night... your truly missed my friend

Gary was a great person with a kind heart. He enjoyed mowing neighbors yard and helping out in the neighborhood. He loved political debates and I remember we listened to NPR on the radio while driving together. Todays Fathers Day and youre a proud father who provided guidance to George and me. We love you and will miss you every day.

George I was so sorry to read about your father. I hope you are hanging in there during this difficult time

hough never meeting in the flesh you had become a part of my life.. I looked forward to our conversations about the world we live in today... The fantasy of meeting for dinner with your beloved son flowers for the hearts of others and mowing lawns.. You were a blessing to those who met you and a handful of those who never would.. You will be missed my dear friend... I am so happy you knew how much you meant to me

My dear friend You are missed and even though we never met face to face you had become a important part of my life... As we chatted about our lives and our common bonds we became close... I looked forward to you each day... You are and will be missed by more than most will ever know... I am so glad I didnt hold back and I told you how important you were to me ... GR your loved

It was such a pleasure to meet your Dad, George. Now I wish we had spent more time together. In the short time we had, I could absolutely tell that he had the kindest soul that a person could have.

Sorry my Brother, Gary was a Great Man !!! He will be missed by all !!!

SO Sorry George, He was a wonderful man with a great soul. Heartfelt condolences.
