Obituary for William Lawrence Ball
BALL, William Lawrence - Bill passed away peacefully at Hospice Niagara on Saturday, June 3, 2023 in his 88th year. Bill is forever reunited with his beloved wife, Jean (1994). Loving Dad of Brenda Petrunick (Kirk). Predeceased by daughter, Cathy (2016), and son, Jim (2017). Very proud Papa to Eric, Jack and Kate.
Bill developed a love of the sea, and fishing at a very young age in Niagara, which was passed down to him from generations of family. He was the happiest on a boat with a line in the water, sharing great conversation and definitely a few fish stories, with family and friends!
In most recent years, Bill volunteered at the St. Catharines Game and Fish Association, where he shared his passion and knowledge for the sport with many, including the organization of Kids Day fishing in Port Dalhousie for many years. Bill is also remembered for his 25 years as a volunteer fireman for the town of Niagara-on-the Lake. He was proud to be an active member of our community.
Bill will be missed by his many nieces, nephews and fellow fisherman.
As per Bill’s request cremation has taken place. Service will be held at Saint Marks Church in Niagara on the Lake at 11am on Friday, June 9, 2023. Interment will follow at Saint Marks Cemetery.
In memory of Bill, donations may be made to Sick Children’s Hospital in Toronto, St. Catharines Game and Fish Association (Kids Day) and Hospice Niagara.
