It is with tremendous sadness that we report the passing of a long-time and loyal member of the IIAV family. William Henry Ball, Jr. passed away peacefully on March 14. Mr. Ball, known affectionally by most as “Willie,” was the owner of Ball-Martin Insurance Agency. He handed down his agency to his son, Wilford H. “Bill” Ball, III who served as IIAV Chair among many other IIAV roles. Bill and Jeri Ball have recently retired and left the agency to their children Jason and Kimberly.
Mr. Ball was from Cumberland, VA and grew up in Norfolk, VA.. Proudly serving in World War II, Mr. Ball was a tailgunner on a B-29.
Those of us who knew Mr. Ball recall his quiet disposition and affable smile. We share many wonderful memories of “Willie” and grieve along with his loving family during this time. Mr. Ball was 95.
