Not sure what to say?

I Remember Mr Ward as a kid in magnolia & me & my big brother Rick & I went to Lawton Elementary with Joe & Rick & Joe were buddies & I also but the younger of the three of us. But the totems games & meeting don was like a really great thing to me & my brother & he was a cool dad & his mother Mrs Ward in my eyes. But getting to know the family & him playing hockey got me in to playing & loving the game thank you Mr Don Ward & just saying thru don & Joe taught me how to shoot lefty up in...

i had the best year of my life playing hockey for him. he taught me so many things i will always have fond memories of him think of him ofton.

This memorial, sure brings back some great memories from the past, not just of Uncle Donnie, but of all our family, God bless us all. Brian

Out of the blue I had a feeling since I have not seen Don at QFC that I checked this. I started out playing hockey in the 60'as a small kid, he came to me my hero and even wrote "DON WARD" on my hockey bag. I also played defense as he did, God bless you my hero, you make a impact in my life. I still have the org pic of him showed here!!

I'm so sorry to hear about Mr. Ward. I spent many nights at the Ward's house on magnolia. I was a classmate of Debbie's rip.

Annie, Joe and families.
My heart aches for all of you, Donnie was a huge part of our lives, my children and I are very saddened for your loss. God Bless all of you and keep you in his loving arms.
Dolores Flournoy and the Sorenson family

Coach Ward will be missed.although only a season playing for Wardie,he was a big influence in the remaining years of my youth hockey and in my coaching of the game.God Bless.- Mike "Rodo" Rodovsky

My prayers go out to the Ward family. Donnie was such a gentle giant. He made me feel so welcome when I moved to Seattle in 1977. I can close my eyes today and still see that warm and loving smile.

He was a gentle giant of a man.I knew him growing up as a Seattle Totem but got to know him personally during his softball years.He still had that menacing look because of his stature but he was a Teddy bear inside.I am sorry to learn of his death but will cherish those memories.My condolences to his family.He was the "salt of the earth".
