Please accept our sincere condolences from City of Wichita Park Maintenance staff. We truly enjoyed working with Skip and will miss visiting with him in Veteran’s Memorial Park.
Thanks, Lee Ann and “crews”. He so enjoyed your work for the VMP! Always pleasing and complimentary comments from him! f#
Thank you! It means a lot that so many people thought so fondly of my uncle.
It is sad to learn of the passing of “Skip” and the loss of another Ward. “Skip” and his friends would come to Winona to hunt with “Bud” and it was always fun to have them. Now the two Charles Ward’s memories are still with us. Sympathy and Prayers from Naomi Ward and family.
Thank you for your condolences. I grew up hearing about Bud. Heard many stories from Uncle Skippy and his friends.
