Mr. Ballard's family and step-family:

My favorite story about Mr. Ballard was hearing about him driving his old Mustang all the way to Indiana for Sara when we were teenagers. Going that kind of distance was an example of the kind of love he had for his kids.

Please accept our condolences.

Lots of love to you from Katie & Aaron Springer
and Indiana family and friends
