Bob Ward, a retired journalist and author known for his long tenure at The Huntsville Times and his biography of Wernher von Braun, died Tuesday (March 22). He was 83.
He joined The Times in 1957, covered the space program, and rose to editor in chief in his 43 years with the paper.

Ward wrote four space-related books, including his 2005 biography of von Braun "Dr. Space." He also chaired the statewide "Space Celebration '89" marking the 20th anniversary of the first Apollo moon landing and Alabama's role in the mission.

Among Ward's other titles were "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon" and "The Light Stuff: Space Humor — From Sputnik to Shuttle."

As a resident of Huntsville, it's sad to see so many of the people who have covered our space program passing. RIP!
