Michael Ball Jr. passed away peacefully June 21, 2023 at Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield, IL. He was born August 6, 1937 in Chicago to Michael and Anna (Moloznik) Ball.

Mike was an avid fan of the Chicago Bears and Blackhawks, and a fan of the White Sox for over 75 years. Mike’s favorite pastime was doing Sudoku, which he mastered, and many 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzles. He served in the United States Marines from 1958 to 1962 and was stationed in Japan. We will miss Mike’s contagious laugh and beautiful smile.
