     On Tuesday, October 30, 2018, Garnet “Red” H. Ward, Jr., loving husband and father of four children, passed away at home at the age of 84.

     Garnet was born October 12, 1934 in East Chicago, IN to Garnet, Sr. and Lillian (Wellburn) Ward. He went to Hammond, IN High School and then went on to receive his degrees in Geology and Chemical Engineering from Purdue University and then Indiana University. After graduation he started his career in water treatment and eventually opened up his own company, Aqua Prep, Inc. who, for 19 years, ran successfully with his wife, Gerry, family and two close friends.

He had a kind soul and a loving, generous heart that will be clearly missed.
