Chris Gramlich wrote a sympathy message

“Ward was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. He loved serving and did so with gentleness and joy, while believing to meet the needs of others. A number of years ago, Ward and Norma took care of your younger son for five days when were away for a family emergency. His presence was refreshing and strengthening. We take comfort in knowing that Ward will be richly rewarded throughout eternity for his years of service to his family, friends, and fellow followers of The Way. Love, Chris and Angie”
