BALL, WILLIAM ‘BILL’
William A. Ball of Meaford passed away on December 4, 2013 at the age of 97.
Loving father of Betty of Toronto and Nancy and her partner Paul Morrill of Westport
and proud grandad to William Lee Croft of Ottawa. Bill was predeceased by his
parents Arthur and Adelaide (nee Crapper) Ball of Toronto and his wives Margaret
King and Barbara Hutchinson.
Bill was a dear brother to Arthur Ball of Bracebridge and
predeceased by his sisters Edythe Cavanagh and Ginette
"Bunny" Chapple both of Toronto and Ethel Cavanagh
and is remembered by her husband Robert Cavanagh of
Naples, Florida. Fondly remembered by his many nieces
and nephews.
Born in Toronto and newly graduated from the University
of Toronto, Bill's sense of adventure led him to accept a
job as a paymaster for an oil company in Bogota,
Columbia. Following service with the RCAF in WW II,
he fulfilled one of his life's goals to be self-employed when he moved to Meaford in
1949 to take over ownership of William Chapple's coal and cement business and later
a local apple orchard. Upon selling these businesses, Bill turned his life-long love of
golf into another business opportunity: the construction of an 18 hole golf course in
the Kitchener area. The families' love of living in Meaford led Bill to sell the golf
course and begin a new career as a High School teacher of commercial subjects in
both Owen Sound and Meaford. Following retirement from teaching, Bill spent
many happy years travelling with his wife Barb to Florida during the winter months.
He is remembered as a respected member of the Meaford community - a gentleman
and friend to many. His wry wit and wisdom will be sorely missed by his family who
loved him dearly.
A private family service was conducted at Christ Church Anglican in Meaford
followed by interment at Lakeview Cemetery. Friends and colleagues are invited to
attend a further celebration of Bill's life which will be held in 2014.
