In Memory: Charles Patrick Ward

I just went through some old family photos and found this photo taken about 40 years ago on one of many visits to Saskatchewan with Sylvia and the kids. What I remember about Charles - better known as Chuck to most family members -  is his steadfast return to Raymore to visit the family every year, always remembering his mother and ensuring all the cousins grew up together. Probably one of the greatest kindnesses a man can share with his family.

I don’t recall Chuck’s birthday; I will remember that on August 21, 2017 he eclipsed this world. 

Rest in peace, Charles
