Clifford Ward Atkinson "Curly" Ward passed away October 29, 2010 at the VA Rest Home from a stroke. He was born on April 11, 1927 to Clifford Herbert and LaRue Burbidge Atkinson in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was the oldest of four children. Ward married JoAnn Hearn. To this union was born...
Read MoreI knew him as "Unc", through Kari, my late wife, his "favorite niece." Unc, in turn, was a favorite person in Kari's life. When Kari and I visited Weston and Tonya, Ward would always stop over to say hello and share a few warm and hearty laughs.
I imagine now, that Unc and Kari are sharing a few laughs once again... and again...
Love and blessings to surviving family and friends... Love and blessings to Unc and to Kari. Love, Kim

Curly had the best giggle, and made the Parker boys' jam sessions grand. He was easy going and made everyone feel comfortable joining in. Not only that, his talent made everyone else sound that much better! We miss him already!

Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time and know that it is difficult to loose a parent. Remember all the good times, and know that Curly was a special individual. No one could touch is playing of the steel or guitar, one in a million. He always made the hoe downs a special time and he will be missed by all that knew him. Lyle and Carole Parker

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. Know that he is in a much better place now. He is probably up there in Heaven playing his guitar and having a grand ol' time!
