Hello Rob and family, I am so sorry to hear about your dad´s passing ealier this year. I know it´s been a long time since we´ve talked, probably since the 90s! But I just wanted to reach out across cyberspace and tell you I am thinking of you and your family. Please take good care. May the road rise with you. Drew

I worked for Dr. Ford until his retirement. He was a wonderful dentist and an even better person! He loved his patients and had a passion for dentistry. He was one of the kindest and most caring people I've ever known. I am forever grateful to have had he and Jessie be a part of my life. I am a much better person having known them. He treated all of us "girls" like we were his. You are forever in my heart DF!

I worked for Dr Ford the last five years he practiced. He was an amazing person, wonderful dentist and was a great person to work for. Great memories to cherish! I know Jessie was glad to see him again!!

We will be hosting a Celebration of the life of Dr. Robert Ford on Sunday, March 2, 2025 from 2 to 4 PM at the Hodges room at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.

I knew Bob for the past 12 years or so through his daughter-in-law who is also my double first cousin. Though only minimally, I knew Bob enough to know that he had a good heart and a quite sound mind at least up until the last time that I was with him, back just before the COVID scourge hit. I offer my condolences to his Huntsville family. He was a good man. P.S. I appreciate the memory tree idea. It is an idea that I wish I had known about 13-14 months ago.

I loved Dr.Ford, I worked with him up until he retired. He was the best boss/friend I have ever worked for. I loved hearing his stories. And he made such an impact in my life. He taught me more than dentistry, he always treated people with kindness and he enjoyed working and talking with his patients. I will truly miss him!

So sorry to hear Dr. Ford, has past away. I worked with him up until he retired. I loved him dearly, he made such an impact on my life. I think of him often. And his stories I loved to hear.

Dr. Ford was my dentist from 1967 until he retired. So sweet, kind and gentle. Enjoyed the visits when Jessie worked in the office, too. Jane Beasley
