Robert “Bob” C. Ward, 69, of Greenville, S.C., who recently moved to Radford, gained his wings on Sept. 11, 2021, while at home with his loving wife, Sherry Ward.

He was born in Knoxville. Bob joined the Navy and was a machinist mate third class and served on the U.S.S. Dixie. 

He is survived by his wife, Sherry, of 33 years; his children, Lisa Wood, MaryAnn Ward, Brian Ward, Tammy Seaman, Bobby Reed, Jr., and Kevin Reed; sisters Brenda Smith and Wilma Edens; and many loving grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and extended family.

Bob was a loving father, husband, grandfather, and friend to everyone. He loved sports, especially racing and football, where his favorite teams were the Tennessee Volunteers and the Chicago Bears. Bob was a dirt track racing enthusiast who enjoyed spending time at the track with his family and racing buddies. He worked as a machinist and supervisor but was forced to give up his career due to his health.

A special thank-you goes to the staff at Legacy Hospice of Roanoke for their loving care and support during his final days. 

Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Don and Margaret Ward, and his son, Donald Ward. 

The family will receive friends from 9 a.m. until 10 a.m. today, Saturday, Sept. 18, 2021, at Mullins Funeral Home in Radford. Funeral services will begin at 10 a.m. Interment will be private in the Southwest Virginia Veterans Cemetery in Dublin at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association, 225 N. Michigan Ave., Fl. 17, Chicago, IL  60601, or flowers may be sent to Mullins Funeral Home, Radford, Virginia, 120 W. Main St., Radford, VA, 24141. Please order from Northside Flower Shop or Gates Flowers.
