My name is Hubbard Caster, Jr., the elder Brother of Ollie Norris Ball. I want to thank everyone for coming to pay their tribute to Ollie (Chuck). There are many things for which Chuck will be remembered, but what we will never forget is his sense of humor and love of great conversation about a variety of subjects, especially sports and military talk. The first memories of Chuck are as a young handsome baby boy attending Mt. Olive Baptist Church in Wicomico Church Virginia with his mother Mary Norris Caster-Ball. Both were well dressed in confidence and energy. Chuck, the cutie pie stood out. Later his energy, smile and great conversation followed him when attending the following:  Anna T. Jeanne Elementary School/Wicomico Church, Virginia  Walker Mills Elementary School/District Heights, Maryland  Rosemary Hills Elementary School/Silver Spring, Maryland  Blair Intermediate-High School/Silver Spring, Maryland  Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School/Bethesda, Maryland Chuck then entered his fantastic journey of life as an adult by working summer and part time jobs with young kids in the Silver Spring Maryland area. He then went on the start a Career with Giant Food working various positions up to Produce Manager position at the Bethesda Maryland’s Arlington Road location. He spent fifteen years at this location before taking an early retirement. He later became an independent contractor providing courier service in the Washington Metropolitan region for many years. He moved on to become an independent contractor with business associates operating seafood transport trucks distributing seafood in the midAtlantic area, stretching from New York to North Carolina and as far west as Chicago Illinois. During his entire work career Chuck exhibited ongoing great social personality with people from all walks of life. One highlight was when he was offering part time assistance to friends who had experience with horses. For a brief period when working with these group of friends he met and socialized with Senator John Warner of Virginia and his famous actress wife Elizabeth Taylor. Taylor raised horses on her Northern Virginia farm. In conversations Chuck would mention this and stated she was just a wealthy down to earth person that appreciated people. Another highlight was when work took him to the outer banks of North Carolina during various festivals held there. He would talk about the beauty of the area and all the nice high-profile people he encountered. Most important of all, Chuck loved and enjoyed his family. He loved his Mother, Sister, Brothers, Nieces and Nephews. In fact, he was always a mama’s boy. He never put anybody ahead of his immediate family and always showed love, kindness, dedication, sometime natural anger when upset with compassion. Finally, to top all this, he had a love for his many friends and acquaintances. The icing on the cake of his personality; he really thought he was a smooth playboy/Romeo. Nearly everyone he met he positively impacted. He leaves behind many memories. We thank God for Ollie (Chuck) Norris Ball, a divine gift. Ollie leaves behind two Brothers, Hubbard Caster, Jr. and Burnest (Stuff) Ball, favorite nieces Angel Henderson Smith of Chesterfield Virginia and Candance Henderson Alford of Chesterfield Virginia. In addition, he leaves nieces, nephews, cousins and numerous friends and acquaintances.
