I will always remember Ward’s warm hugs and our easy conversations about travel over shared meals with our dinner group. We had a good laugh after looking forward for weeks to savoring the eggplant at Casa Italiana, only to find they had run out. I’ll never forget the comical look on his face. That was just one of many memories of Ward: joyful, lighthearted, and present. My heart is with Cindy, Kevin, and Tim as they carry forward his generous spirit and the love he so freely gave.

One of our many fun dinners!

We are so sorry for your loss.  Wishing you happiness looking back, strength looking forward and solace in the present.

We cannot express how awful we have felt since learning of Howard's death.   We take great comfort that the Buckler family was able to visit us in Sarasota in February, and that we got to spend happy time with you all so recently.  Howard was a very good person and I honestly cannot give higher praise than that.
