My condolences to the family of Mr. Ford. He was a great man. I got to know, actually know of him with my time with COT some years ago. Always was aware of his accomplishments from then on. In his later years I would see him at Gulf Coast Lumber in Woodville. He was a wonderful gentleman, a pleasure to have known him and saddened he is gone. Will miss him and RIP Mr. Ford.

Janita - I'm sorry for your loss and I know what you are going thru. My father passed 8/31/17. I try to remember the good times and his funny mannerisms and that is what is getting me thru this time. You and I were classmates all thru middle school and high school - and maybe at Timberlane Elementary School as well (I'm pretty sure).
My prayers are with you.

Rest in peace Mr. James Ford Sr. Although I have only met you twice, I feel I know you from listening to Clinita talk about you. Clinita, you have always inspired me so much by the love you talked about. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

It is never easy to say goodbye to someone we love so much. Knowing that so many were loved and touched by him helps. Even more so, because he lives in their memories. May you have peace and comfort in the promises of Almighty God that there is a hope of seeing your loved one again. My sincere condolences.

Mrs. Ford you have my condolences
Mr. Ford was my role model and I would not be the man I am had it not been for Mr. Ford. I loved him as a Second father. You can rest assure he is in heaven and we will see him again.
