Our John – Ball & Young
It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved colleague and friend, John O’Connell, who worked with us at Ball & Young for an incredible 22 years. John, often affectionately referred to as “Our John,” was an exceptional individual with the biggest heart, and his presence made a lasting impact on all of us.
Throughout his tenure, John proved to be more than just a salesman; he was a versatile and capable individual who could handle various responsibilities with unmatched skill. From managing office tasks to creating and delivering products, there was nothing that John couldn’t accomplish. He was always ready to lend a helping hand to his colleagues and went above and beyond to ensure the utmost care and satisfaction for our valued customers.
John’s dedication to his work and the people around him was truly unparalleled. He not only excelled in his professional life but also showed genuine care and concern for his colleagues and customers alike. His kindness, warmth, and ability to connect with others will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
At this difficult time, we extend our heartfelt condolences and support to his partner, Caroline, and their four children, as well as the rest of his family. We recognize the profound loss they are experiencing, and our thoughts and prayers are with them during this challenging period of grief.
As a company, we will forever cherish the memories he created with us and the impact he had on our lives. John’s dedication, passion, and positive spirit will continue to inspire us, and his memory will remain alive in our hearts.
