Comments about Marcellus Ward
As Lieutenant with BCFD I new "Marty" and of his danger. I will never forget his smile and humility and how he always spoke of saving kids from drugs.— Dr Al Thompson
In Memory of Marcellus Ward. It's been 25 years since his passing and the memories of such a fine friend, father,brother, uncle, comrade, and partner to those that knew him. I know that "Ward" touched my life many years before. He was a kind and fearless person, who had a heart of gold and a sense of humor that was infectious! I am glad that the DEA has not forgotten such a fine person, whose life was too short. "Ward in memory of you" Missing you...Margaret "Buffy" Bacon— Margaret "Buffy" Bacon
