There are no words to describe how profoundly Dr. Ward will be missed. He was definitely one of a kind in so many ways. The years that I worked as Nursing Supervisor at the hospital allowed me to get to know Dr. Ward closer with his work there as the Medical Examiner. He was just an all around great man and highly skilled and intelligent doctor. My heartfelt sympathies go to his family and everyone who loved him.

Dr Ward was a dear friend to all of the McIntyre family and was legendary in his church, civic, community and professional leadershipas well as all that he did for our state and for his alma mater, Wake Forest, where he and my dad were fraternity brothers. May God bless and strengthen all of his family during this time and in the future.

Dr. Ward was a good steward of everything he touched in life and a tireless servant to others. He was the most humble and unassuming prominent man I have ever known. Dr. Ward's participation in any organization made it's purpose and work better, broader and more impact-full. He would demur my description of him as a "pillar" of a man. Pillars provide essential weight bearing capacity and stability to sizable structures both now and in future expansions. In the First Baptist Church and...
