Patrick Daniel Ward

To the best boss. A man who ran a tight ship, but he and his staff always had a good time and got the job done. Still telling stories of our summers at the Shamrock working with Pat Ward. A legend! Always in our thoughts. Harry Brennan

Everytime I think of those Wild wild Wildwood days I remember some great summers working with some great people and Pat was always part of the best of those memories. Missing those happy days and nights behind the bar at the Shamrock and some of the best years of my life. Thanks for the memories Pat, always in my thoughts. Harry Brennan Montreal, Canada

Dear Betty and family,
Pat Ward was one of a kind- a classic. No one who ever met him could forget him. He was a man’s man who loved his family, his friends, his work and his community. I was sorry to hear of his passing, but I am comforted knowing he is no longer suffering and in the warm embrace of his God. I hope that you can take some comfort in knowing how many lives he touched and how much laughter he spread. He will be missed. There will never be anyone else like him and he is so...

Pat,
It was always a great time being around you. I have fond memories flying the Steraman around New Jersy. I'm sad to see another one of "The Greatest Generation" flying West.

Dear Aunt Betty and Ward Girls

I'm so sorry to hear about Uncle Pat. Unfortunetley, I could not make it to N.J. but I'm glad Pat was able to. I'm sure you understand with 3 kids and all. I met Uncle Pat on my 2nd date with Pat. We went down to Wildwood and he took us for many rides in the plane. Upside down, loops, hammerheads, it was a blast. Afterwards, we went out for some beers and lots of jokes and laughs with Uncle Pat. He was so warm and embracing, I knew then that I...

Dear Mrs. Ward & Family,
I am deeply saddened by this news. The Ward family and the Shamrock will always hold a special place in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.

Grandpop,

I would sincerely like to thank you for your deep devotion to our family. Your laughter, charisma, work ethics, and dedication that you carried within you, has laid the foundation for our wonderful family. I can’t even begin to think where we would be without you! You opened your doors and your heart to friends and family alike and provided us with the strength and spirit to persevere and overcome any obstacle within our lives.

Today was a hard day but it brings me...
