My heartfelt condolences to Ward's family. I've known Ward for a little over 9 years. Really going to miss out daily conversations on the phone while we were driving. I was hoping to watch him evolve into a Grand champion BBQ cooker. He was looking forward to retirement and going to cooking competitions. He will be missed.
