Robert Franklin Ford

I have wonderful memories of working on cases with Robert (usually with Joetta Keene), trying unsuccessfully to have them clean up their language and laughing with both of them. He was passionate about doing a great job on those cases. I also remember how proud he was of his daughter and her cello (i think?) skills. We would talk about music as he loved opera and I sang with the Dallas Symphony Chorus. I still think of him and miss working with him.

To the Ford Family, I am deeply saddened by the loss of Mr.Ford. He worked on my son's appeal several years ago. He was a great lawyer and he believed in getting to the truth. I know he is in heaven smiling down on all of us. May you find comfort in knowing that Robert was loved by so many of his clients. Judy Stafford

Kiki Ford informed me today (2-2-12) of Bob's passing. Sorry for your loss, Mrs. Ford. As Bob's criminal investigator (former police officer) for the past 6 years, I had grown to admire, respect, and love him. He change my views of the prosecution after being a minor part of his work in finding the truth.

Bob inspired me and those around him at the courthouse to engage in our daily work with passion and vigor. I will miss his energetic presence across the courtroom. I hope Kiki and Bob's family are comforted by many happy memories and that he loved you so much.

I am very saddened to hear of Bob's passing and send my deepest sympathies to his family. May God grant you strength and peace. You all will be in my prayers.

Bob was the epitomy of a great man. I remember fondly the days we worked together. He was an outstanding lawyer, a devouted family man, and a friend to all who knew him. My sincerest sympathy goes out to all in their time of mourning.

i am so saddened by the lost of a friend i work as a guard in same building as mr.ford he was an awsome gentleman to know there was not a day when he was in the building on his way out that he would stop at my guards desk to talk and formost make me laugh i am so gonna miss you my friend :,( my heartfelt condolances out to the entire family and friends of bob.

Dear Natalie,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May your happy memories of your Dad replace in time the sad ones you now have.

With love,

Belen
