Ward the pioneer and devotee Death is the one event that we may never come to terms with in life.
Death means the parting of a love one to the great beyond.
The grief is even more painful when the person is a public figure who impacted on everyday life, particularly sports and games. Much of his 60 years was a tremendous sacrifice to the development of domestic sports, namely track and field, football and cricket. In addition, Ward was a walking library. He had vivid memories of all the great performances and memorable occasions accomplished at Queen's Park and other playing fields in the country. I got to know Ward when the government specifically set up a ministry to look after youth and sports in the 70s with the energetic Winston Whyte as the Minister.
