Jill and family Our condolences to you at this very sad time. We both have such fond memories of Ward from our time in London together. Ward always had such a great sense of humour and his smile could light up the room. He was always ready with a joke . He, Manny and Ross(Sam) were all such handsome young fellows together. Now Ward has left us, RIP friend. Ross and Madonna-Heather McCulloch Chilliwack, B.C.
