Arthur "Buddy" Charles Ball

He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend who will be greatly missed. He was an avid hunter and fisherman who loved to cook. He was a three year Texas State Champion in basketball at Cayuga High School. He then went on to play at Texas Christian University on a basketball scholarship. In his spare time, he loved watching college sports and westerns but most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his family and friends.

He is preceded by his parents, Bernetta and Arvel Ball; daughter, Marie Annette Ball; and brother-in-law, Allen Brumley.

The family would like to thank the staff at Chateau D'ville for their loving care and compassion. They would also like to thank neighbors and friends for always lending a helping hand.
