Ward was one of three siblings born to Ole and Ethel and is survived by his two sisters, Chrystal Dastrup Brown (Dale Stevens Brown - passed away September 12, 1995) and Marge Hubert (Frank). Chrystal who has resided in Salt Lake City for mosf her life was a great help and a loving support to her brother for many, many years. Marge has resided in San Bernardino, California for many years but has lovingly kept in touch with Ward by phone, occasional visits, and messages sent to him expressing love and concern. Both sisters loved Ward so very much and will miss their loving association with him. Ward was previously married to Anne Moore, and she was also a loving caregiver to Ward for many years as well. Ward is also survived by seven nieces and nephews and many, many great and great-great nieces and nephews as well. Ward was one of the first draftees from Utah after war was declared on Japan in World War II. He worked as a line supply Sergeant for the Army Air Force. He served in Randolph Field in Texas and thereafter, was stationed in the Philippines. Has injured there in a jeep accident and eventually, returned to the United States, where he was honorably discharged on July 17, 1946. He received the Purple Heart. After the war, Ward was eventually hired by the Kellogg Company in 1947. He started out as the Kellogg representative in the territory of everything south of Salt Lake City and eastern Nevada. However, eventually, he became the Sales Represenive over the Oregon/Idaho territory. Many store personnel didn't even know his name. They just called him "Kellogg". He retired on March 16, 1974 and described his tenure with the Kellogg Company as "a good marriage that lasted 30 years." Ward was a great lover of the outdoors. He loved to hunt and hike and was a "natural born fisherman". For many years while working for Kelloggs, he resided in Boise, Idaho and loved to hike to nearby Lucky Peak and to fish in the Arrowrocks and lakes which were close to his home. Ward was also well-known as being a hard worker and rendered service to family and friends in his healthier years. He loved to travel to Hawaii and took several members of his family with him on numerous trips there - 13 in all. Ward was ordained a high priest in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He also received his endowments in the Salt Lake Temple. As his family and friends, we love him and want to remember him as a generous, giving person to his fly, one who had a strong spirit, and a love for life and the beauties of nature. He will be missed by many, but we have the reassurance that he is finally at peace and has been reunited with many of his loved ones who have welcomed him home. Graveside services will be held on Friday, October 4, 2002 at 11:30 a.m. at the Salt Lake City Cemetery. Friends and family are welcome.
