Vincent Ward
Vin, Sadly passed away peacefully, on December the 19, 2017 at home in Seabrook, TX. He was born in Durban, South Africa, to his parents George and Silvia Ward, on August 31st 1921.
He grew up in Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia, the oldest of 5 children. He often assisted his father in various ways to help support the family. Anything from selling chickens door to door, to, selling hotdogs and coffee outside the cinema, to, driving his dads Taxi’s at the age of 12.
He had a huge passion for Motorcycles and owned as many as 18 as a young man before being conscripted by the British to fight in WW2.
In 1988 he was instrumental in founding Techemet USA, to which he dedicated the rest of his life. His efforts help grow it into an international company, and world leader in its field.
He was a very passionate and charitable man.
Vincent is survived by his Wife Anne of 68 years, 4 children, 11grandchildren, and 4 great grandchildren.
Words seem inadequate to express the sadness about Vincent’s death. Dennis and I are here to support you and your grieving process.
With sincere sympathy,
Barbara and Dennis
Words cannot begin to describe how much I appreciate everything you have done for me and my family. You will always be remembered.
May God grant you eternal peace.
Thank you Vin
What an amazing man–who enjoyed his work until his final days. I knew Vin through his beloved wife, my dear friend Anne. She loved and fully supported him with grace and honor–for a lifetime.

Occasionally I saw this Obituary. I attended his 95-year birthday celebration and remembered that he was so healthy at the moment. I always remembered that he came out from office on wheelchair to look at the metal tapping, his eyes was sparkling and still be very sharp in judgement.
Your body was gone with wind, but your vivid image remains for ever.
