I am working on the layout for the program for Ward's memorial service (talk about a surreal task), and I'm just pretty much weeping all over my keyboard after seeing this picture that's to be included.

This photo really, really captures his personality. As my Uncle John says, Ward was a baby rock star and he knew it. He had charisma busting out all over, not to mention the hair Roger Daltrey always wished he had.

My son Elliot said this morning that his cousin Ward's biggest problem was people arguing about who would get to hold him or sit next to him, because everyone always wanted to.
