On Oct 30, 2017, Carl began his eternal time with our Heavenly Father. He has heard from the Lord "Well done thou good and faithful servant". Carl is survived by his wife Jacquelyn (Jackie) Boling Ward of 63 years, and his brother Richard Ward. He was a loving father to Caryn, David (Pauline) and Heidi (Theodore Salb Jr), an awesome grandpa to Caryn (Michael Baldwin), Laura (Vanner Aleman), Brittany, Teddy, and Carole Ann and a proud great- grandpa to Madelyn, Christopher and Amelia.

Carl's faith was strong and he delighted in the Lord. He was a servant to all; serving his country in the Navy, his community on the Miami Beach Police Department, and as a Deacon. Much of Carl's free time was spent fishing or diving. His warm and infectious smile was his trademark, making friends everywhere he went. He was loved by all. Carl was a storyteller, poet at heart, and loved a good joke. While, he will be greatly missed, we rest in the assurance of meeting again.

A graveside service will be held on Saturday, November 18, 2017 10:30AM at the Delray Beach Cemetery 700 SW 8th Ave. Delray Beach, FL 33444.
