“There is a book in everybody’s life, but a library in an old man’s story. When an old man dies, a library burns down.” Wallace Morley Ball, of Deer Lake, Newfoundland died July 22, 2011 Western Memorial Hospital, Corner Brook, NL. Wallace, a longtime employee of Bowater Pulp and Paper, was Born October 2, 1921 in Laurenceton, NDB Newfoundland. He was youngest son of the late Robert and Charlotte Ball and the beloved husband of the late Velna Grace Tetford. Wallace will forever be remembered by his beloved children: Allan (Lily), Calvin (Dona), Gilbert (Norma), Catherine (Gary) Cooper, Barbara (Garfield Canning), Pauline (Ross) Fowler and his daughter Lori with whom he resided. His 15 grandchildren, 12 Great grandchildren, his only surviving sibling Clara Keeping, a large extended family and friends and many who were blessed to have known Wallace, will miss him. A keen and enthusiastic woodsman, he loved hunting, fishing and would be ready to head out at the slightest provocation.
