We join the Winter Park community in mourning the passing of Harold A. Ward, III—a steadfast leader whose influence helped shape the city we know today.

A lifelong resident and widely respected attorney, Mr. Ward devoted decades to shaping the community he loved. From his work with the Charles Hosmer Morse Foundation and stewardship of the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, to his extraordinary leadership at Rollins College and the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce, his influence was both profound and far-reaching.

Known to many as “the city’s iconic father figure,” Mr. Ward’s contributions spanned generations—quietly guiding institutions, mentoring leaders, and preserving the character of Winter Park with unwavering dedication.

He is reunited with his beloved wife, Libby, and is survived by a loving family who carry forward his legacy of service and integrity.
