Ward was truly a special person. I worked with him at Georgia Tech in the Dean's office. He was always nice and cordial and no matter what treated you like you mattered. He will be missed greatly.

in 1970, struggling to finish my doctorate at UofM, I asked Prof. Winer to let me do an individual directed study on lubrication fundamentals.

At each of the holiday parties he held, he would always seat me next to Mary Jo as he knew that I enjoyed our interaction. Few people that I have had the pleasure to know with...
