A dear family friend , Ive missed. Basketball, football or any sport for that matter, he was on point in discussing it with you. Those days are gone but the memory will never die. God bless this family especially during these troubling times.

I was just informed today of the passing of Mr. Ward. It was my privilege to care for him as a rheumatologist for nearly 20 years. He had a pleasant demeanor and never complained about his physical ailments. It was a pleasure to visit with him during our quarterly office visits over the last nearly 20 years. He will be greatly missed by myself and my staff here at The Ohio State University. Our prayers are for peace for the family at this time as we are confident in the peace that Mr. Ward has now attained with our savior. Kevin Hackshaw, M.D. The Ohio State University
