I am so sorry about your loss. Knowing that death is coming does not make it any easier when it gets here. Take one moment at a time and stay close to each other. Support each other all you can and never take a day for granted.

You and your family are in our thoughts during this time.

Tom and I extend our sincere sympathy to the Ward family. Ed has left an indelible mark of friendship, vision, loyalty and laughter. He will be missed the world over.

My condolences to Cathy & the Ward family .....”Go rest high on that mountain, son your work on earth is done” .... ❤️

On behalf of the Sandroni family, please accept our condolences. Ed, Cathy and their entire family were always so gracious to Ginny. She cherished her time at IrishFest and Ed and Cathy could always get her to smile. I’m sure somewhere the Wards and Ginny are singing The Parting Glass and maybe telling a good joke or two. Hugs

Little Ginny, Peter, Michael and the entire Sandroni and Daugherity families

My thoughts are with all of you on the loss of this warm, wonderful man.

We will miss seeing Ed on his front patio and walking the cul de sac, hearing his stories and pride in his family and seeing him patrolling the IrishFest grounds. He will be missed in so many ways by so many people. Our sympathy to all the Ward family.

Go n-éireoidh an bóthar chun bualadh leat, agus go mbeidh an ghaoth ar do chúl i gcónaí. agus titeann an bháisteach go bog ar do pháirceanna. Go bhfanfaidh Dia tú go réidh i dtearmann a láimhe.

My deepest, heartfelt love to Ed as he moves on, and all my sympathy and love to the beautiful Ward family. Seriously no words can be found...I'm heart-broken. No words, but I'll be dusting off the guitar, clearing the throat, and singing a song for, to, and with Ed later. May Ed always rest in peace, and may we never forget that there is no end to what one person can do. God bless ya Ed! Until we meet again, thanks for everything. Beannaigh Dia a bhás. (God Bless his passing.)

So very sorry to hear of Ed's passing. Ed started and left the Irish fest legacy for future generations to come with that said ,We shall forever be thankful for all he had done with making it the largest and the best Irish fest in the world. Ed will always live on through love and memories in the hearts of many, much hugs and prayers go out to the Ward family during this most difficult time. you Ed Ward will be missed but never forgotten
Till we meet again Theresa Mitchell-Peterson
