Russell Ward Obituary
Russell Ward
September 10, 1939 - December 23, 2023
Passed peacefully away at the age of 84 years
Russell loved to torment, tell tall tales and loved to make people laugh.
He was a very practical man who was contented by life's simple pleasures.
Russell had a strong faith which comforted him though out his life time.
Known to some as "hop" Russell had a hard time sitting still, he was in a constant hurry to get home wherever he may have been.
At the end of the day he was quite content to be at home and have a visit with his good friends Joey Coombs or Cyril Hewitt as well as special friend and nephew Michael Ward.
In recent years Russell resided at Alderwood where he was surrounded by new and old friends especially his good friend Gary Molloy.
Russell was predeceased by his parents John and Catherine (Kate Butler), Marguerite Ward (Coombs) Daughter Lisa Cribby (Ward) Brothers Leo, John, Cecil, Victor, Aiden and Sisters Vera Coady, Jenny Dalton, and Theresa Walsh.
Leaving to mourn his Brother Phonse Ward, Uncle Peter Butler and Aunt Phil, Children Ralph, Aaron (Erin), Rosalind and Kelly, Many Grandchildren and great grand Children, nieces and nephews.
