Ford, Amanda Ford Ellis, Melinda "Mindy" Toups, and Madeline Ford. He was preceded in death by a brother, Richard Ford; and his parents, James and Audrey Ford.

Tommy was a great friend to my family for many, many years. We lived next door to him and my younger siblings grew up with him. He was such a kind man, and was very good to my parents. What a loss! He will be missed. May he rest in God's loving arms.
