Obituary For Albert (Terry) Terrence Ball
Albert Terrance Ball (Terry) age 90, passed away at home on Saturday, July 29, 2023 in his 91st year. He was born in Chatham, ON, but made Nova Scotia home for the majority of his life.
Terry graduated from Queen’s University in 1956 and began his engineering career with Bailey Meter Co. He moved to Nova Scotia to work for the Dept of Development, where he met his wife of 29 years Catherine (Cathy) Olna Ball. Terry transitioned careers and entered the life insurance and financial planning sector in the early 1980’s. He had a positive impact on both brokers and clients; looking after his own clients until the age of 89.
Terry left a legacy of curiosity and the love of learning through his children and grandchildren. He spent many hours at the kitchen table helping his grandchildren with their math and science homework.
Terry was predeceased by his parents Oliver Jack and Sarah Mabel (Scott), as well as his sister Eleanor and finally his beloved wife, Catherine Olna (Martin). He is survived by son Michael; daughter Suzanne and son David (Sherri). He is also survived by his grandchildren; the light of his life, Katie, Meghan and Joshua.
He was a great son, husband, father and grandfather. If there was a Guinness world record for the most hours of CBC Radio listened to, he would be a solid contender. With that in mind, donations may be made to Friends of Canadian Broadcasting or a charity of your choice.
As per his wishes there will be no funeral but a private celebration of life at a later date.
