My deepest sympathy to the entire ward family. My daughters and I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Ward “Pops ” about 20 years ago through Ellen & Jeff and their daughters. Pops was a wonderful father and grandfather and friend to all and he will always be remembered by his kindness and ability to make all family gatherings fun!
On behalf of the St. James High School Alumni Association, I extend our deepest sympathies on your loss. On April 29, at St. Madeline’s Church, the Alumni Association will remember Joseph at their annual Memorial Mass.
“I have fought the good fight; I have run the race to the end; I have kept the faith”
Rest in Peace Joe.
I am sorry to hear the news about Pop pop. I enjoyed his humor and how he lived on his terms. I learned so much about him from the obituary . He was a very accomplished man. My thoughts and prayers to the entire connected Ward family.
Our love to you all. He was a great man
