He went through some turbulent personal times with a soon to be ex-wife. He lived next door to my aunt. Was sad but hilarious. Yes, I witnessed it. May he rest in Peace.
txbutterfly; Sophos2 : I believe you're thinking of Don Nelson. I lived 2 doors down from him on Fir Spring in NWH and was friends with his son.
Could be.
Yes, I saw that on the news last night and was sad to hear it. I liked Dave Ward, he seemed like a decent guy. May he Rest In Peace.

He, like Ron Stone before him, seemed a very affable guy. An "old school" journalist, for the most part, he reported the news in raw form - leaving conclusions to the viewers. It was always fun watching him try to contain a laugh after Marvin Zindler's sign-offs... "MAAAAAaaaaaarrrrvin Zindler, EYE-Witness News!"
