Vale Ken Ball – industry stalwart

AREMA pays tribute to Ken Ball, a respected industry stalwart, who has died after a long illness.

He served in many roles with AREMA for more than 20 years, and is remembered as an industry leader who supported members with advice and good fellowship. Even though he had retired from the industry, he stayed involved, serving on standards committees and providing technical advice on a broad range of issues. He wanted to see the industry thrive and committed himself to that end even after he stopped work.

Ken was selected into the ARBS Hall of Fame in 2022. The citation is below.
