died on August 3, 2010. His
funeral service was held at 1:
00 p.m. Monday,
August 9, 2010
at University
Heights Baptist
Church in Still-
water. Strode
Funeral Home
was in charge of

Bill Warde
contributed to
the lives of many people.
Bill was born February 9,
1943 in St. Thomas, Ontario,
Canada, the son of Wil-
liam Graham Warde, Royal
Air Force, and Joan Agnes
Anne Warde, from Royal
Oak, Michigan. At the end
of World War II the family
settled in High Wycombe,
Buckinghamshire, England
except for a period at Changi
Air Base near Singapore in
the 1950s. He attended the
Royal Grammar School--
the equivalent of Eton or
Harrow--in High Wycombe
and graduated from Sir John
Cass College, University of
London. While there, he was
a Royal Air Force cadet. He
qualified as a pilot twice, at age
sixteen and as a cadet. After
receiving a bachelor's degree
in statistics and geography in
1965, he earned a master's
degree in statistics at Florida
State University. He and Mary
Jane Williams were married in
1968 and moved on to Iowa
State University, where he
eamed his doctorate in applied
statistics in 1972.
Bill was a statistics professor
at Oklahoma State University
for forty-two years. He loved
teaching and consulting with
researchers from many disci-
plines. He believed strongly
in encouraging young schol-
ars and was always willing
to judge the state science fairs
and the Cherokee Nation Sci-
ence Fair. Through a NASA
grant, he ran a summer camp
for American Indian junior
high science students in the
1990s and often assisted other
OSU summer programs for
young scholars. In addition
to being head of the Statistics
Department for five years, he
was Chair of Faculty Council
and president of the OSU
chapter of the Phi Kappa Phi
National Honor Society. He
enjoyed working with the
American Indian students
at OSU. He was currently
serving as chapter advisor to
the American Indian Science
and Engineering Society and
was a Sequoyah Fellow in
the national organization. On
campus, the Native American
Faculty and Staff organiza-
tion and the American Indian
Student Association honored
him by including him in their
board meetings and activities.
His only extended absence
from the OSU campus was a
fellowship at the U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture in Wash-
ington, D.C. in 1985-1986.
Outside his academic life,
Bill was a board member
of the University and Com-
munity Federal Credit Union
for about thirty
years, a found-
ing member of
Stillwater's Cen-
tennial Rotary
Club, and a Paul
Harris Fellow.
He attended,
supported, and
loved the Per-
kins Church of
Christ in Perkins, Oklahoma.
Although he was Canadian by
birth, he thought of himself
as British until October 2009
when he became an American
citizen.
Other than his family, his
passion for fifty-nine years
was Boy Scouting. He became
a Cub Scout in Singapore the
first day he was old enough
and rose to Queen's Scout-
the equivalent of an American
Eagle Scout. As a young adult
he eamed his Wood Badge at
Gilwell Park, England. In
Stillwater he served as Scout
Master of Troop 818, United
Methodist Church; Assistant
Scout Master of Troop 828,
University Heights Bap-
tist Church; and with Cub
Scout packs at Sangre Ridge
Elementary School and
Highland Park Elementary
School. He trained twice at
Philmont Scout Reservation,
taught leadership courses
and Wood Badge, ran Cub
day camps-- whatever
needed doing. He camped
often at Will Rogers Scout
Reservation near Cleveland,
Oklahoma and taught merit
badge classes for campers.
He was awarded the Vigil
(highest) rank of the Order of
the Arrow. At the same time,
he took leadership positions
in Will Rogers Council, now
Cimarron Council, and had
been Council Commissioner
for several years at the time
of his death. He participated
in the Ouachita Trek every
spring break for some thirty
years and served stints as the
local "Pop Corn Colonel." He
earned almost every award
given in Scouting, including
the Silver Beaver, the highest
award given at the council
level. He attended every
National Boy Scout Jamboree
from 1977 to 2010 as a Scout
master or, most recently, as a
volunteer fork lift operator in
the Food Service Group.
Bill was a loving husband to
Mary Jane Warde for forty-two
years, a loving father to Colin
W. War de and Mark Christo-
pher Warde of Sfillwater, and
a delighted grandfather to l_arm
Benjamin Warde of Tulsa. We
will miss him too much to say.
I-Ks family, respecff~y Suggests
that in lieu of flowers those who
wish may make donations in his
name to the Cimanon Council
