Mr Ward was an avid user of the Euclid Public Library. We always enjoyed having Mr Ward and his son Anthony come into the Library. Always a smile or kind word. Such a gentle soul. You will certainly be missed here at the Library Mr Ward.

Pops was more then a father to me. We talked a lot about how good of a son I am and a great father to my boys. He was a kind and very educated man. He taught me a lot about life and how to achieve my goals and don't give up. Just keep, keep on moving is what he use to tell me. He helped me a lot financially, and he will be greatly missed. Love you forever Pops, your son Andre LaVette

A person’s integrity, character and legacy can be reflected through their offsprings. Mr Ward was a great individual. His love, integrity and kindness is displayed by the values, determination and commitment of his children Darlene Ward and Tony Ward. It was my honor to know you through your daughter’s eyes and heart and now through my little brother Tony’s eyes snd heart. Your body may be absent from this world but your memories will live forever by all the lives that you touched.

My sincere condolences to the family. Uncle Wardie was loved and shared his great sense of humor to all. I saw him this past summer and I'm thankful for the time we were able to share. I loved the way Uncle Wardie and Mom loved each other and their playful banter. He will be missed.

Uncle Wardie loved his sister Thelma and that is the memory I shall carry with me forever. He loved his family immensely. We all had so many great times with him and he will be greatly missed by my mother I know. She loved her brother dearly.
