I met Mr. Pitfield in 1975 in the trading dept at Pitfield Mackay Ross.
Through the years I found him to be personable, good natured with a nice sense of humor. He commanded much respect but always had time to talk hockey or horses.
It was a pleasure working for him and his company.
He created a great working atmosphere and we will miss him.
He must have done something right because I'm still here.

Dear Pitfield family,
I met your Mum and Dad when I moved to Caledon. Before that, I knew Ward's reputation as a Titan in the investment industry and I was intimidated. Initially, I remained intimidated and I think he enjoyed that!
Over the years as I got to know Ward better, I grew to be in awe of his integrity, his honesty, his goodness of heart, his generosity of spirit, his sharp mind (as well as his sharp tongue), his steadfast leadership and his social conscience. Put all those together with a wonderful, dry, mischievous sense of humour and I came to adore Ward and felt privileged to have him as a friend.
For me he set an example in how to navigate through life without ever compromising your core values. He was tough and not quite so tough as he liked everyone to think. I loved and admired him for it.
I sought his advice often in regard to the Horse business. Unlike most Horsemen, he gave it freely. One of the things he said, "There is no substitute for the sound of your footsteps in the barn".
I hear his footsteps all the time.
Much missed, never forgotten.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Rogers
