George E. Ball

Passed in: Balls Creek
Passed on: November 20th, 2014

With much sadness, the family regrets to announce the passing of a very loved husband, father, grandfather and friend George Ball on Thursday, Nov. 20, 2014, at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital Sydney.
After retiring from the Sydney Steel Plant in 1976, George enjoyed working every day in his garden, being outside at the family home in Balls Creek and tinkering in the garage. Some of his favorite pastimes were having family dinners with a good cup tea and always cookies. George enjoyed a good discussion about the weather and he cherished all the visits when people dropped in to say hello and talk about old memories.
Left to remember are his wife, Reta; his children, Eddie (Edie), Kevin and his daughter, Maggie, Kathie (Mike) and their son Nikolas, Judy and family Chad and Tara and their families as well as the extended Nickerson family.
George was predeceased by his parents, George and Amanda, brother, Harry and his son, Laurie.
Visitation will be held Sunday, Nov. 23, 2014, from 1-2 p.m. at the S.W. Chant & Son Funeral Home, 564 Alexandra St., Sydney with a funeral service to follow at 2 p.m. with Rev. Sheldon Chant officiating. Interment to follow in St. John’s Cemetery, Point Edward.
Family flowers only. Donations may be made to the Palliative Care, CBRH.
"Grampy/ Poppy toodle loo, love Maggie and Nikolas."
