Peter Thomas Ward

I ran with Pete at Monmouth for 2 years. Pete was a great guy, good teammate and tough competitor. He made the team better and he made me better. We enjoyed a lot of successes together. I am so blessed to have known him. When I reflect back on those days, I always think how lucky we were to have Pete on the team. God Speed.

To the entire Ward Family,
My prayers for comfort are streaming to you from Finland. Peter and I met when he transferred to St. Rose High School and we have been good friends since then. We ran so much together years ago with our favorite trails being in Allaire State Park. He loved it on those trails. Those runs led to me running WITH Peter to running after Pete in races because I could not match his strides after not too long on the roads.

Peter is deeply missed. I will miss his detailed emails of happenings in New Jersey and his sincere holiday and birthday greetings and much more.

Rest In Peace my friend.
Peter Ward the Shore Power!
That is what I used to call him when he was tearing up the road races.
Here is a pic of Pete and I running for Brookdale Community College way back in 1981. He was so fast!

Your friend,

It so sad to hear of the passing of Peter. We have great memories of meeting the entire Ward family in Spring Lake in March 1980. May he rest in peace . Peadar and Marian Ward . Dublin.
