Wayne C. Ball

Wayne C. Ball went to be with his Lord and Savior on September 4, 2013. He died peacefully at home in the presence of his family.

Wayne was born November 5, 1926 to G.C. and Ula Mae Ball in Campbellton, Fl. He graduated from Campbellton High School and was a veteran of World War II. Wayne retired as Chief of the Bureau of Weights and Measures, Department of Agriculture after over 30 years of service.

He was a devout Christian man who read the Bible daily.

He is survived by his loving wife of 63 years, Nell N. Ball, his daughter, Susan Ball Cravener and her husband, Michael, and his grandson, Matthew Cravener. Other survivors include Wayne's brother, Joe Ball and his wife, Jane, of Tallahassee and his sister Doris Ivey of Little Rock, Arkansas.

Wayne enjoyed the final 18 years of his life living next door to his daughter and her family. He was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. He was loved and respected by all who knew him.

The family has chosen to celebrate Wayne's life with a private service and wish to express appreciation for the many thoughts and prayers that have been offered in Wayne's behalf.

My condolences to Nell, Susan and other family members. I lived next door to them back in the 1950's and when they moved to Leesburg, use to spend part of my summer with them. So sorry to hear about Wayne.

I had the pleasure of growing up next door to "Uncle" Wayne and "Aunt" Nell on College Avenue. I remember fondly how sweet they both were to Linda and me. I'm only sorry we lost touch. Wayne was a fine gentleman. My sincerest sympathies to Nell and Susan and the family.

My sincerest condolences go out to Wayne's family. I had the good fortune to work with him back in the early '70's. He was always a joy to work with. May God grant his family the peace that passes all understanding.
