"Uncle Bob, we will miss you terribly. May you rest in peace in the Lord's merciful care. We love you.

Sandi & Rick"

"Brian, Yolanda, Charlotte and family: I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Ward's passing. We all spent many hours running in and out of your house and up and down the neighborhood and he was always so kind to us kids. Brian is in some part responsible for me being a professional musician and music educator because I always thought he was so cool to play clarinet in the band. Lots of happy memories of us kids being friends with the Ward family. On behalf of my family, our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of loss. God's strength be with you and give you comfort."

"Dearest Ward and Jacobs Families,

I pray that God gives you all the courage and strength you need to endure this sad and difficult loss.
It is never easy to lose a loved one, but I hope you find peace in knowing that your long time friends and extended family are here for you.
I am thankful for the wonderful memories that I have of Mr. Ward and all the fun times I spent with my best, friend Yolanda at the Ward household.
Mr. Ward was a great man who was respected and loved by all who knew him and I know that God is well pleased with his time on this Earth.
May Mr. Ward's Memory be ever Eternal.
With much love,
Monica Bonney Arroyo

"Bob touched my life in some major ways. I first met him as a patient of my Dad - Dr. J. R. Herbst. Then when I was 15, I was involved in a major traffic accident with internal injuries, Bob investigated that accident and was very helpful to my distraught parents. Then almost 10 years later, Bob talked to me and convinced me to apply with the Texas Department of Public Safety. I was hired and enjoyed a career spanning almost 34 years. I have always appreciated the interest he took in me and him taking time to encourage me to pursue a career that I may never have thought of. Bless you Bob and rest in peace."

"I'm very sorry for the family"s loss. I had the pleasure of working with Bob many years ago when I came to Greenville Police Department back in the 70's. Bob was great to work around and he had a great outlook life."

"Glad to have called Bob Ward a friend."

"It was an honor and a privilege to have known him and worked with him. He was one of good ones!!"

"Brian, Yolanda, and Mrs. Ward,
I am saddened to read of the loss of your father and husband. I will always remember him for his courageous service to our state and our community. I still remember well the day he had a high speed accident chasing a car on Hwy 34 over the I-30 bridge near the car dealerships. As I recall, he broke his arm that day and we were all relieved at school that it was not anything worse. He truly was a man we could all look up to as kids, and I must say try to avoid once we turned 16 and got our driver's license! Luckily I never met him out on the road!

I will keep all of you in my prayers during this sad time."

"We are very sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He was a fine man and great Highway Patrolman. May God Bless the family and ease their pain for his loss."
