Ford was and always will be the nucleus of his family, and loved them with all his heart. He was admired and loved by all that knew him. He was very soft spoken, and had such a mild demeanor and a huge heart. Ford was a very faithful man of God and was very active in his church. One of his true loves was his fellowship with others and his love of music, which was expressed by his singing in various choirs.
