Edward Marshall Ware

He was born on March 5, 1938 in Amherst County, son of the late Charlie Ashton Ware and Mary Williams Ware.

Ed owned Ware’s Glass Shop in Lynchburg for 40 years and everyone knew him around town as “The Glass Man”. He loved playing golf with his golf buddies at Colonial Hills. Ed’s favorite daily outing was visiting his cabin in the woods in Naola where he would watch Western movies and visit with wildlife. He made sure all of his critters had food, especially his pet squirrel. He loved watching his younger grandchildren play sports and he never met a stranger. He will be greatly missed by all of his friends and family.

He is survived by his loving wife of 45 years, Nancy Stinson Ware and his children; Marshall Ware and his wife Jane of Powhatan, Linda Wilson and her husband Philip of Powhatan, Carol Joslyn and her husband Will of Glen Allen, Teresa Tydlacka and her husband Brian of Ashburn and Joey Ware and his wife Kate of Lawrenceville, NJ. His grand-children Galen Ware, Maitlin Ware, Omri Ware, Tyler Wilson, Riley Wilson, Heather Allen, Allie Tydlacka, Hunter Tydlacka, Logan Ware, Ashley Ware and four great-grandchildren Kade, Max, Brady and Zoe. Ed is also survived by his siblings; Wade Ware, Lucy Bowen, Louise Wood, Arlene Campbell, Doris Dalton and Rosa Brunner.

A funeral service celebrating his life will be held on Saturday, September 18 at 11am at Whitten Timberlake Chapel with the Reverend Janet Hawkins officiating. Interment will follow at Fort Hill Memorial Park.
