Thomas Matthew Ford

Dear Heidi - I will always remember how you & Tom took me under your wings when I arrived at U of M. I am so sorry for your loss. He was a good man & a good friend. May God bless you and comfort you in the days ahead.

Best regards,

Gary Joiner

I just learned of Tom's passing. Like others here, I played tennis with Tom twice a week, in my case for two years until I was side-lined with an injury. Tom was always kind and always a gentleman. I enjoyed playing with him and his love for the game was always apparent. It was a privilege to know Tom and I will miss him. My heartfelt condolences to the family and to all who loved him.

My sincere condolences to your family for the loss of your love one. May the God of comfort be with you during this sad occasion and may his loving words at John 6:40 console your heart.

We so enjoyed playing drop in tennis with Tom. He was an excellent player and kept us on our toes. We will miss him.

It was a joy to play tennis with Tom twice a week. He was still an excellent player and a very pleasant man. Our group will miss him.

I always looked forward to playing tennis with Tom at Liberty Athletic Club. He enjoyed the game.

Heidi and family.. So sorry to hear Tom passed away. He was such a nice man. I will miss seeing him at the Cedars. I use to enjoy watching him fly his plane around outside. Take comfort in knowing he is up above watching over all of you....Rest in peace Tom....
