Andrew Henry Ward

Andrew Henry Ward, 63, of Morrisville passed away at Copley Hospital on Sunday, February 12, 2023 following a hard-fought battle with cancer. He was born on July 5, 1959 in Morrisville to George and Patricia (Smilie) Ward. 

Andrew attended People's Academy, graduating in the class of '77 and went on to receive his Bachelor's degree from Johnson State College in 1981. That same year, Andrew and his father established Ward's Systems in Morrisville where he worked for 36 years programming and repairing computers. He enjoyed auto racing and was also an avid photographer, but Andrew was passionate about Civil War History. His interest led him to become a licensed Battlefield Guide for the National Parks Service in Gettysburg, PA. Those who knew Andrew knew what a tremendous source of pride he felt for his guide duties which remained a priority for him even until his last days. 

He is survived by his mother, Patricia Ward, his brother, Alan (and wife Kathy) Ward of Morrisville as well as nieces; Ashley (and husband Matt) Tanis and Jessica Ward. Andrew is also survived by several cousins, great-nieces and nephews and many friends including special friends, Sarah Ward-Callahan and Sherri Brown Watts. He was predeceased by his father, George Ward in 2012.

A graveside service will be held Saturday June 24, 2023 at the Pleasant View Cemetery in Morrisville at 11 am.  Celebration of his life will follow at the Morrisville  VFW.  In lieu of flowers, contributions in Andrew's memory may be made to Lamoille Area Cancer Network at www.https://lacnvt.org/donations/ or by mail at P.O.
