I worked at Ken's Discount in the mid-90s and Mr. Ball would often stop in while out for a motorcycle ride. He was friendly and always had something pleasant to say. I enjoyed our conversations about motorcycles and about what was happening in Barbour County at the time. My condolences to all of his family members.

Brenda and all the family. I am so sorry to hear about Lewis. He was a great man and friend He will be missed. He loves his music and motorcycle. I remember him coming out to the church in Mansfield playing his guitar and singing many years ago. I will miss him talking to me at Walmart. You all have lots of great memories. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
