Charles A. "Chuck" Ward, 75, of Bethlehem, passed away on June 21, 2022, in St. Luke's Hospital, Anderson Campus.  He was the loving husband of Karen (Ede) Ward; they celebrated 36 years together.

Born February 14, 1947, in Philadelphia, he was a son of the late Forrest and Stella (Laskowska) Ward.

Chuck graduated from Father Judge High School in 1964 and Temple University in 1972.  He proudly served his country with the Marine Corp during the Vietnam War.

Chuck was a co-owner and operator of Data Medical in Fairfield, NJ until his retirement.  He enjoyed golf and was a die-hard Eagles fan. As a season ticket holder, he never missed a game.  As his health declined, his family would include him in the festivities by facetiming him during their pregame tailgate parties so he could "attend" from home.  Chuck was a devout Catholic and a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Bethlehem.

He is survived by his children; Christopher Ward (Christine), Cheryl Ward, Jennifer Keller (fiancée Donald Marano), Christian Keller (Casie) and fur baby Elbie. "Popster" to his grandchildren Madison and Baylin Keller, Abigail Gunn, Zakary Ward, Elizabeth and Daniel Scott, Isaiah Leverence and grand dog Maizy, his siblings; Arlene Carrello, Marcia Kuntz and Albert Ward and several nieces and nephews.

Chuck was predeceased by his brother, Michael Ward.
