RECOGNITION OF G. WILLIAM WARD
______
HON. JOHN JOYCE
of pennsylvania
in the house of representatives
Friday, April 30, 2021
Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor G. William Ward as he celebrates his 90th birthday on May 6, 2021. For decades, Mr. Ward has been a pillar of our Blair County community.
After serving in the U.S. Navy, Mr. Ward became the President of Ward Transportation and Logistics Company in 1966. Within three years, Mr. Ward expanded the company to more than 500 employees.
Under his leadership, Ward Transportation and Logistics flourished, expanding to new locations across the Mid-Atlantic region. Mr. Ward's hard work to build his business has been invaluable to the growth and economic success of our community.
Throughout his life, Mr. Ward has devoted his time and talents to serving his family, our nation, and our community. He married his wife Carolyn (Williams) in 1953, and they celebrated 64 years of marriage before her death in 2017. Mr. Ward has five children, 12 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. He has been a dedicated member of our community, serving on many statewide and local boards and civic organizations.
On behalf of the 13th Congressional District of Pennsylvania, it is my privilege to recognize G. William Ward for his outstanding service to our neighbors and our nation. As he celebrates this milestone, I wish my friend a very happy 90th birthday, as well as continued health and happiness.
