To the family and loved ones of Ward, I send you my heartfelt sympathy along with my prayers for all of you.
I remember Ward when he bought and operated Ray Tilsons bait shop in Kingston Ny. He always treated me in a fair and professional way.
He always was and will remain one of the good guys that I met in life.
Rest In Peace Ward
