Not sure what to say?

Condolences to all the family. We will miss our neighbor.

Many life long memories of George one is, when he was a salesman at Lloyd Barrington and sold me a Elmer Fudd polyester suit I wore for years ! Also a function at the Egremont Country Club, he and Mrs Ball and the senior Elliots boy they could dance, showed us all what good fun is
He was the best, saw him many times when I walked the neighborhood , great story teller, one of my favorite people

Such a sweet man. I would see him when he would come to BD on business. Generous, warm and caring. He always had a joke to tell me.

To the Ball Family & Sandy,

My sincere condolences to you all. Many great memories were made with our families going all the way back when my parents Paul & Isabel double dated with George & Priscilla and thus created a life long friendship with the whole family. George always had a smile & a joke for everyone. The life of the party! I know that the angels in heaven will be welcoming him with a cocktail & possibly joining him for a round of golf. My thoughts & prayers are with George...

My sincere and deepest condolences to everyone during this very difficult time.

Sending my deepest sympathy and love to all the Ball family. I adored Uncle George and will remember him as a wonderful family man, who always had a smile on his face and a funny story to tell. I have so many fond memories of family get togethers, playing some sport in the backyard or ping pong in the basement. May you all have some comfort in your time of grief knowing how much love Uncle George spread to everyone he met. Rest In Peace Uncle George! ❤

To George's family and Sandy!
We were so sad to hear how sick George was and then of his passing.We know George will be missed for so many things about him. We always mention his smile , gentle manner and of course his funny jokes. Bud worked with him when he was the salesman that came to Roe Jan School District in Copake, Hillsdale NY from 1973 till 2000 when it closed. If you knocked on his door at home even if he didn't expect you he would always say "Come on in sit and visit!!"...

To the Ball family,

May God give you peace & comfort you at this sad time. Your Dad sounded like a heck of a guy. As you reminisce, I hope fond memories bring a smile to your faces. Condolences to all that loved him.

Deepest Sympathy to the family of Mr. Ball. With a very heavy heart for those left behind ...
