Lolane, thank you so much for sharing the pictures with our family. Uncle Clellan was always very special to me and I admired him so much. He was a proud man and such an example to all of loving his family, far and near. You are in my prayers. Love you, Shirley Ford Smith

Lolane and I became friends during high school in 1972. We lived on Davis Hill, Ft. Lewis. At that time I met her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Ford were so warm and welcoming, making me feel a part of the family. I am so happy and blessed to have met them. Mr.Howard Ford was a big personality. I regarded him as an Andy Griffith- a true southern gentleman!
My thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Ford, Lolane and Michael.

I met Mr. Ford when we both worked at the Fort Lewis Education Division in the late 70s and early 80s. Although he retired from the Army at the top of his rank, he was so unassuming and down to earth to everyone he met. In reading his obituary I was amazed that he was so highly decorated during his military career. How I would love to hear the stories behind those medals. So sad to lose one more member of that greatest generation. My heartfelt sympathy to the family.
