Kathleen Preece wrote a sympathy message

“How to describe Frank? He teased you to tears; celebrated you to laughter. He tripped you, then cherished the ground you walked on. He adored family, celebrated friends. Ever see him in uniform? Authoritative - in charge. Ever see him on the land? honoring the hayfields and gardens – the simple things of Life. The lights of the largest cities charmed him; the stars above St. Mathias graced him. To have had Frank Ball in your life is to have received an unrepeatable, once-in-a-lifetime gift.”
