He became an expert luthier and enjoyed working in his shop until the August 13, 2016 flood. He was a dedicated member of First Pentecostal Church of Denham Springs. He and his wife, Gladys Goldsby Ford, were devoted to loving God and walking hand in hand with him throughout their journey. He is survived by his wife Gladys, and three children: Sheryl Tharp (Doug), Kirby Ford (Amanda), and Deborah Ford, and step daughter Susie McDonald (Billy): his sister Laurice Netherland; also survived by six grandchildren and his special lap dog Baby Girl. He is preceded in death by his parents; brothers Dewey “D. C.”, Henry, and Alton; his sisters Alean and Betty Raye (infant).
