We love you, Terry, and we'd welcome any opportunity to tie a few on with over free beer and a great big bowl of bean dip and some spicy wings. God bless you, son

Absolutely, without a doubt, the very best written obituary of all time! Thank you for your service Mr Terry Ward.
Rest In Peace!

Hamburger helper, yuck!

I sent a message of condolence in Jan 2018 but received a notice of your dad´s obituary today. I read his obituary again and still think it´s about the best piece of literature I´ve ever read. So funny, honest and humble. May God continue to watch over your family and hold you in His arms. Ruth

What a great guy. Like him, I love Blues Brothers, Clint Eastwood (I named my son Clint), and free beer. I also put in 33 years in the phone business.
May God Bless such a wonderful family.

I didn't know Terry, I'm 78 and also a military veteran. Our nation is free because of men like Terry. I wish I could have known him, it would have been a distinct honor. I did 31 years in the USAF, I'm a mustang working my way up from the enlisted ranks. And yes, there a lot of us out there just like Terry. May Terry rest in peace and God Bless his wonderful family.

I have been reading through the obits because I wanted one like this for my mom. Terry must have been a wonderful man to raise kids who lived him enough to write such a beautiful, classy and funny life story for him. I only hope my mom's will turn out half as good. This is not easy when it's a parent be ok r any li c Ed one. The strength to get one who w r it's I to must have been to be able to ok focus on Terry so beautifully is amazing. I hope when my time comes someone will write something...

I sincerely hope Terrys family has found some peace and comfort since his passing. Its obvious he was a beloved husband and father. This is the time of year awards are doled out to celebrities for a variety of things.........but none can surpass this ongoing memorial tribute to a non-actor who goes by the name Terry Ward. He would garner many awards for his various duties he performed while on earth...... best husband, best father, best soldier, most prepared for a zombie apocalypse! The...

Dear Friends & Family of Terry,
I came across this obit. looking for someone else on FB & from the comments, something told me to open it and read it. So glad I did! I was laughing in the first sentence!! Those of us who never met the physical Terry feel like we still know some of his heart and soul from these livelier than life words. What a wonderful life he lived & loved!! God is good & he lets us keep the love we receive from others when they pass on to the next life, so they...

From a family, in Pa., We just saw this article and obit. Congratulations, to Terry, for raising children that would write this final tribute. I also had a dad who was unusual, in such a wonderful way. The meek shall inherit the earth and move on to heaven. Terry say hi, to Ralph, my father.
