Not sure what to say?

What a kind,warm man. I enjoyed his quick smile and sense of humor.

My sympathy is extended to John's family and friends. I worked for Ward's Brokerage from 1965 to 1975. He was a fair man and I enjoyed the camradery I had with the other 3 local salesmen who worked for him during that time period.

I'm truly going to miss John! It was a pleaser to get to know him and to care for him in his last few years of his life! John was a comic & funny man! The things he would say to me would keep me laughting! My thoughts and prayers are with the family!

To the Ward family:

Your Grandfather 'Jack' and Father John C. gave this 18 year old the privilege of working for Ward Brokerage for over five of the most impressionable years of my life. John's influence helped shape my life for the next fifty-two years. The things he taught me are what I've taught my own children. They have applied them in their lives; and both have been very successful. Thank-you John; for all you have meant to me and my family. You are really one in a Million....

So sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Pat Hiller

Our sympathies to my favorite neighbors. Many great family memories. We will all miss our Moms and Dads.

So sorry to hear of your family's loss. I have enjoyed hearing stories of his life through Jan.

Kathy, Jan, Brian and Tim,
I was very sorry to hear about Uncle John. I just wanted you to know that I am thinking about you all and extend my sincere sympathies. He was a lovely man - always so upbeat and happy to share a story. Your recent visits must have brought him great comfort. I am sorry I will not be able to attend the services in person, but hold you all close at heart during this difficult time.
