Judy, Kim and Darren. So sorry to hear your sad news last week. Our deepest and most sincere condolences to you all during this very difficult time. ❤️
We have so many fond memories of Jeff and all the fun get togethers we had over the years. From being our “Master of Ceremonies” at our wedding in 1976, feeding and entertaining John and his audit team while in Calgary, fondue nights, barbecues and amazing dinners in Oshawa, Newmarket and Pottageville. Those were all great times and we will always remember them.
Jeff was such a good friend to us and will always be remembered for his laughter, booming voice, welcoming ways and hugs.
John & Susan Aitkenhead and family.

We are taken with emotion upon hearing of Jeff’s passing. Jeff’s unique laughter, grand smile, and caring heart are held dear. He was always an encouraging assistant coach for Darren’s minor hockey teams. My sons and I appreciated his energetic greetings and positive approach to everything. Jeff’s impact shall always be remembered. Wishing Judy, Kim, Darren, and extended family strength in his memory.

To Mrs. Ford, Kim, Darren and all of their beautiful families,
We are surrounding you with love and comforting thoughts as we are so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Ford. We count ourselves as incredibly fortunate to have known him as there was no one like him. Mr. Ford always welcomed us with open arms, a ride on his lawn mower, a skate on his pond, and a drink to talk about whatever life threw at us. I will also remember his beautiful booming voice, his incredible bear hugs and the love and pride he had for each one of you. It was evident that he felt like a king with Mrs. Ford by his side and his amazing kids. And, his life only get better with Jeff, Annie and the grandkids.
We will toast to Mr. Ford – to a life well lived, filled with so much love and enthusiasm and thank you all for bringing us into your magical family.
Lots of love,
Ben, Julie, Voss and Lilia Sangster

Dear Judy, Kim & Darren,
I am very saddened hearing of the passing of Jeff. I remember our friendship during my working days in Woodbridge. Jeff was a great guy, always willing to help anyway he could and give great advice. He like all us father’s, was so very proud of his children, who are very fortunate to have had such a wonderful caring father.
Judy, I hope you and your children somehow find comfort in cherishing the wonderful memories your beloved husband has left with you and all of us.
Thinking of you during this sad time.
Sincerely,
Al Lord

Dear Judy,Kim,Darrin and family.
Please accept our deepest sympathy on the passing of your husband, father and grandpa.
Think back on the days of memories and may they warm your hearts and put a smile on your faces.
Our fond memory of Jeff was the time Uncle Good asked Jeff to make him a salmon sandwich. After all your dad offered to make him a sandwich. When Jeff brought the sandwich to the table Uncle Good asked Jeff who had taught him how to make a sandwich?Jeff had spread a thin layer of salmon on the bread. Next time Jeff made a salmon sandwich for dad he put the tin of salmon between two slices of bread and served it to Uncle Gord with the comment is this better Uncle Gord? The whole lake heard the laughter.
Jeff you will be missed. Auntie Jean will have the deviled eggs ready for you and don’t forget Uncle Gord’s salmon sandwich.
Love Susan Randy Samantha Paul and family

Mike Sturrock says
Its times like these, that being far away last few years is really hard. Can’t help tearing up thinking about Jeff or “Mr. Ford” as i will always call him. I think without even having to try, Jeff was a father figure to me when my parents moved away. Always welcomed me and all of Darren’s friends in, and sometimes, weather he wanted to or not! 🙂 With his booming voice, and contagious laugh, he had a way to make anyone feel welcome. Fond memories with some delicious bbq and a suspicious grin at what Darren and his buddies might be up to…… Mr.Ford is someone who’s had a great influence in my life, and I regret due to Covid, my young kids never had a chance to spend time with him….. But I know i often use his example as a father to make me better, and I will speak of him fondly to them so they know what a great person he was. My sincere love and condolences to Judy, Darren, Andrea, Eva, Felix Leon, and Kim, Jeff, Ben and Macy. I hope to see you all soon to look back on great times with “Mr. Ford”. Miss all of you.
