1:31 p.m. PT — Kevin Bacon just posted a nice tribute to Ward, saying, “So sad to hear about Fred Ward. When it came to fighting underground worms, I couldn’t have asked for a better partner. I will always remember talking about his love for Django Reinhardt and jazz guitar during our long hot days in the high desert. Rest In Peace Fred.”
