Warren Ward Sr. "Mr. Photo" Paterson, New Jersey Obituary

Warren Ward Sr. "Mr. Photo"

The Lord in His Infinite wisdom saw fit on May 7, 2022 to call home our beloved Warren “Mr. Photo” Ward. Warren was born on May 16, 1934 in Savannah Georgia to Edna Stewart Ward and Charles “Charlie” Ward. He was the oldest of 4 children. Receiving his early education in Georgia, Warren came to NJ when he was 17 years old. Working for The Chroming company. He then worked for Jersey National Liquors for 35 years until he retired. He met the love of his life, Magalean Robinson and they wed on May 18,1957. From that union they bore 4 children. He gave his life to Christ and joined Greater Bibleway attending regularly until his illness. Warren was a provider, protector and a great example to his children. A person who loved to give. He gave back by coaching a little league football team, receiving recognition in 1974. Warren had several hobbies. He loved photography so much he started his own company, Mr. Photo. He loved wood working. Creating a work station in his basement and the home desk where he conducted business. And let us not forget about his Jazz. He loved Jazz and often listened to it in his recliner with a little hand-held radio, while he rode in his car and attended many concerts. Warren was the purest of hearts. A gentle giant, if he fussed it was because he wanted things to be right. Warren was preceded in death by his parents, and his brother Charles “Mickey” Ward Jr., He is survived by his loving wife, Magalean, his daughter Vernay "Bunnie" Ward Bryant of Maryland, 3 sons Anthony and Darryl Ward of Paterson, and Warren II.(Darla) Hamburg NJ, 3 granddaughters Lakeshia Alexis Bryant of Maryland, Savannah Rose Ward, and Brianne Lewis of Hamburg, a brother Hubert Ward of Georgia, and a sister Emma Ward of Paterson, a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
