In Loving Memory

James H. Ward, age 81, passed away on November 1, 2012 at his home in Bellevue, Washington after battling lung cancer for nine months.

He is survived by his children, Susan Ward, Sheila Ward, Shannon Ward, and Steve Ward; grandchildren Trevor Ward, Oscar Dominguez and Felix Mako; his brother Jerry Ward and sister MaryAnn Clark, and many other family members and friends. He will be dearly missed. He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Pat Williamson.

Uncle Jim's passing leaves a huge hole in our hearts. We will miss his wit and stories and most of all his compassion.

Jim was very intelligent, so much so, that he broke the grade curve at Creighton University.

His wit and warmth are sorely missed.

To all of Jim's children I am very sorry for your loss. He was my cousin and so glad we were able to get closer in the pass years. My love to you all
