OKLAHOMA CITY – Governor Mary Fallin today issued a statement on the death of Enid oilman Lew Ward, who died Sunday:
“My prayers are with the family of oilman Lew Ward. Lew was one of the oilfield pioneers who made Oklahoma such a leader in that industry. As founder of Enid-based Ward Petroleum Corp., he devoted his career to developing oil and gas resources that continue to fuel our nation. He was a former president of the Independent Petroleum Association of America and served as a national Republican committeeman from Oklahoma. All the while, he selflessly supported a variety of community causes. He will be missed.”
