Paul A. Ward, born February 24, 1954, entered eternal life on October 29, 2019.

Patriarch of the Ward family. Loving husband, brother, Godfather, uncle, son-in-law, brother-in-law, loyal friend, passed away after a brief yet courageous battle with an aggressively spreading bile duct liver cancer.

Generous heart, great wit and sense of humor Graduated 1972 from Mohawk High School. Was a member of the “In The Know” team, while in high school, he and 2 friends saved a mother and child from a burning 2nd story building.

Season ticket holder of the OSU Buckeyes and the Columbus Blue Jackets where he was known to almost go hoarse from encouraging the team on from the sidelines. Enjoyed watching all sports and was working on earning a degree in “armchair quarterbacking”.

Enjoyed the arts especially the Michael Crawford musicals and was a CAPA Broadway series supporter.

Avid reader from a young child. As he matured, history and mind-boggling mysteries were frequently on his list.

Thoroughly appreciated hiking, white water rafting, zip-lining and experiencing the grandeur of the National Parks out West.

Paul worked for the US Postal Service for 32 years and was well respected by his customers and fellow employees. His last assignment prior to retirement was at the West Worthington station.

He met his future wife of 28 years when working together on the now non-existent MPLSM’s; however, it took him years to take the leap of faith and ask her out in a creative way.

His non-chalant, laid back approach to all challenges was commendable. Faithful parishioner of St Brigid of Kildare.

Survived by wife Joyce, father-in-law and mother-in-law Roger and Mary Fox, sister-in-law Patti (Gary) Kincade, brothers-in-law Mike (Sue) Fox and Tim (Beth) Fox, sister-in-law Theresa Hughes and Partner Randy Estridge, nieces and nephews Cecelia (Kevin) Doenges, Goddaughter Mary (Jeremy) Starkey, Edgar Fox, Dan Hughes and Ashley Davis (fiance), Amber (Brian) Harriff, Jim (Sarah) Hughes, many loving great-nieces and great-nephews, special aunts still living in the Fox family is Mary VonVille, Ruth Macoy, Burnie Fox, sister Sue Hannah, nieces and nephews, Toni Hannah, David Hannah, Stephanie Hannah and Nikkie Hannah, many loving great-nieces and nephews.
