Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

We were first introduced to Tony through the eyes of our Grandson, Jarod Vogel. Tony was Jarod's trainer at Garner Trucking. Jarod has dreamed of being a trucker since he was about 3 years old, and Tony's love for it just enhanced the feeling for Jarod. We were able to meet Tony and Maryann when they traveled to Dayton to visit the US Air Force Museum. We met them, and felt like we had known them for years. Jarod, George, and I wanted so much to have many future get-togethers; attending country music and bluegrass concerts, etc. We will miss that. This world was a much better place with Tony Ball in it. Rest in peace our dear friend.

Tony, this world was so much better with you in it. Rest in peace, our dear friend.
