  7. R.I.P., Ward. I’m so glad we were friends. You were a great person, someone I always could count on, and I will miss all of our conversations. I was looking forward to seeing your home, but, sadly you were called home to Heaven. You truly were one of a kind, honest and a man of good morals and great knowledge. I will miss you, my friend…..
