This is the obituary on the website of the funeral home that held Thomas Ball's Visitation. I think it would behoove any members reading this to visit the page and sign the guest book. In order to let his friends and family know that there are many people all over who don't buy the idea that he was just a lunatic but rather someone who was destroyed and decided to make a statement.
