Judy, Debbie, Dawn and Denise. I am so sorry for the passing of Ward. I was thinking back to when I was growing and having Ward across the street and looked to him as my big brother. Many thoughts come rushing back to our younger days and driving the gas truck and getting bait with Uncle Wayne and setting lines in the river. My thoughts and prayers are with you all today. God Bless. Larry and Kay

Judy: So sorry to hear about the passing of Ward. He was a GREAT guy, and was so easy to work with on rate cases when I worked at KPL Gas Service with Harold Steenbergen. Also, enjoyed our time together in the Sales Department at The Gas Service Co - you taught me so much. Hope you and the rest of the family will be comforted by the wonderful memories of Ward, and am sending prayers to you. Linda (Norred) Rowe - (816) 820-5848

Several of Ward's Kansas Corporation Commission colleagues, notably Fred B. Adam (Director of the Utilities Division), Earl "Flick" Flickinger (deceased) and I enjoyed our time shared with Ward at the KCC. He always sought to make the lives of other individuals better.
