My deepest condolences to you all. It's been many years since we've had contact, going back to growing up on 34th Street in Southeast DC and attending St. Francis Xavier , but I have nothing but the fondest remembrances of Bill and the entire Ford family. My most enduring memory is the kindness Bill and Bob showed in taking me to the father-son communion breakfast the year after my father died.
Please know my prayers are with Bill and you all. In God's peace,
JMayo

My deepest condolences to the family. There are no words sufficient to describe the pain you are feeling. May God continue to be there for the family and may the memories of the past be linked to the present and future.(Psalm 147:3)
