Please help us celebrate the incredible life of John Ward. A loving father, brother, and friend, John was always down for a party. It's now our job to send him off with one for the ages! Join us at John's second home, the Eugene Yacht Club, for an afternoon of food, friends, and bittersweet joy as we remember and celebrate John and his legacy. A light meal and drinks will be served.
Please RSVP so we can gauge numbers. All are welcome and John had countless friends! Gary Powell, officiant.
