Bruce Ware, 73, of Dagsboro, DE, passed away peacefully with his family by his side, on Tuesday, August 28. He was predeceased by his parents, Wellford & Peggy Ware. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Dr. Barbara Ware and his three children: Brett (Nicole) Ware of Savannah, GA; Alyssa (David) LaForce of Redondo Beach, CA; Bruce Douglas of Eugene, OR, his special fishing buddy, his grandson, Jacob LaForce, his brother Jeff (Helen) Ware and four nephews and two nieces and their families. Bruce was born September 18, 1944 in Woodbury to Wellford and Peggy Ware. Bruce grew up in Pitman. Bruce was the owner of Moore’s Liquor Store and the Mayor of Pitman from 1994 – 2002. He was a veteran of the Vietnam War, and was honorably discharged as a Captain of the United Stated Marine Corps. Bruce received his undergraduate degree in theater at University of Arizona. He received his MBA and completed his education at the U of MD, receiving his JD, as did his father and grandfather. Bruce was a man of many hats but did nothing but the best at every single position he held, husband, father, grandad, brother, uncle, friend, business man, US Marine, Councilman and Mayor. Bruce’s favorite activity was fishing A lot of people that passed by Moore’s would also catch a glimpse of a man fly fishing for cow patties. That was Bruce. Even without water Bruce still needed his fishing time if just to practice. Fishing was one of the reasons he loved living in NH where he spent hours fishing in the local ponds. When he moved to Delaware he was able to surf fish almost every day and fish off of his house balcony at any time. It was quite the retirement life. Bruce was an avid reader, rarely would you find him without a book under his arm or by his side. He also loved everything about his time in Pitman NJ. He proudly served Pitman as a Councilman for 21 years and then his 3 terms as Mayor of Pitman. A man above men. Bruce had a pragmatic bipartisan answer for everything. He gave the most truthful amazing advice to anyone that would ask. His knowledge was endless. He had an undying generosity towards his community, friends and especially family. The end of his life was a summer joyfully spent with his beloved grandson, Jacob. His memorial service will be held on Friday, August 31st at KELLEY FUNERAL HOME, 125 Pitman Ave, Pitman, NJ, visitation to begin at 6PM and service to follow at 8PM. Interment will be at the convenience of the family. Contributions may be made to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s at www.michaeljfox.org.

Richard L. Ware

Richard L. Ware, of Greenfield (formally of Shirley, IN) age 87 passed away peacefully after Midnight on Sunday September 2, 2018. Born in Shirley Indiana on November 3, 1930, he graduated from Wilkinson High School in 1950 and proudly served in the US Army during the Korean Conflict.

On December 31, 1954, he married Virginia Lee Collins of New Castle. They were married for 54 years before her passing in 2008.

He was raised by his mother’s Parents and his loving aunts and uncles. He was so lucky to have so many family members to raise an outstanding man. He loved his home town of Shirley, his country and anyone that drove a Ford.

His work ethic was second to no one. He was raised as a jack of all trades. He could work on and fix anything. His biggest fault was never able to say no to a friend or family member needing help. He was a friend to all. He was good neighbor regardless where he lived in Shirley, on St Rd 234 or in Cobblefield Estates. He was an outstanding Son, Brother, Nephew, Uncle and Cousin. Most of all, he was great Father and Grandfather.

After starting his family, he decided he needed a more stable income. In October 1957, he started working for Ford Motor Company in Indianapolis, IN. He retired in early 1988.

For the next 30 years after retirement, he was always busy. He built one house and remodel another one. He was always doing something to stay busy. It did not matter if it was mowing yards, cleaning house, doing laundry or repairing things. He enjoyed his daily visits at Meijer on East Washington for his coffee and donut with his friends and chatting with the Meijer’s staff.

He will be greatly missed by his Grandson Brendon Ware of Chicago, IL, Step Granddaughter Erica Eason of Bloomington, two sons Greg Ware of Mt Comfort and Brent Ware of Indianapolis, his two sisters Alberta Calland and Carolyn Grass both of Greenfield, sister-in law Beulah Maria Collins of Tallahassee FL, brother-in-law Luther (Patty) Collins of West Sun City AZ and numerus cousins.

Richard is preceded in death by his mother, Mary, Grandparents William and Ethel Ware, four Uncles, five Aunts and numerus cousins.

The family wanted to thank the Staffs from Hancock Health Center in McCordsville, Hancock Regional Hospital in Greenfield and Community North in Indianapolis to guide the family though his final journey.

Family requests no flowers, but if you wanted to make a donation to the Alzheimer’s Association at www.alz.org or offer to drive someone to have a colonoscopy. Both ways would be a perfect method to honor our Father.

Visitation will be from 5-8 PM Wednesday, September 5, 2018 at Hinsey-Brown Funeral Service Knightstown Chapel. Funeral service will follow at 8:00 PM. Private family entombment will be at Washington Park East Cemetery. Condolences and memories of Richard may be shared at www.hinsey-brown.com.
