Dear Ward family,
Please accept my condolences for the loss of Don. He was such a friendly, warm man whom I met many years ago in Ellicottville.
I was looking at an old business card of his and went to look him up and sadly found his obituary.
Very sad to learn if his death.
Sending love and prayers to you all.

We always looked forward to meeting up with you two on a Friday night and sharing conversation and a glass. Our condolences go out to you and your family at this time of loss. I hope we will see you in your regular seat at the Mermaid piano bar in the near future Dorothee.

Our deepest expression of sympathy to the Ward family. Don was a good man who lived a full life and was always willing to share his good fortune with others. He was a proud citizen of St. Catharines and loved his roots. Don will be sadly missed by all those who crossed his path. I didn't know Don all that well but my wife, Mary, did and she held their acquaintance in the highest esteem. Don loved life and the people in it.
May Don R.I.P.

Many fond memories of Don over the 15 years we lived side by side, one of which was when he got his Corvette and then realized that he was having problems getting his golf clubs to fit in it. Determined to find a way he did and smiled all the way to the golf course.
