Allon Doyle Ward died peacefully in Bellingham, Washington on Tuesday, December 10. Born on July 19, 1926 on the family farm in Davidson, Oklahoma to Anna Mae (Gore) and I. E. Ward, Doyle grew up in Tillman County, Oklahoma. Doyle married his childhood sweetheart Haroldene Chastain in 1946 and they lived in Oklahoma City until 1982 when they relocated to Washington State to be closer to their son David and his family. Doyle was a proud member of the U.S. Merchant Marines, serving in the Northern Atlantic and Pacific during World War II and later sitting on the board of the San Juan Chapter of the AMMV. He enjoyed golf, barbecuing, Sooner football, and most of all family. He will be missed by everyone who knew him. Doyle is survived by his two sons Phillip Ray and David Allon (Susie); his grandchildren Andria and Allon; his great granddaughters Sophya and Lily; his sister Phyllis (Verlon) Douglas, and his brother Edwin Lee. He was preceded in death by his younger sisters Neta, Betty and Ina; by his loving wife of 64 years Haroldene and their daughter Cheryl Lynn. A celebration of his life will be held in White Rock, BC, at a later date.
