Received notice today that Ford passed sometime in November. I have no other details at this time.

I first met Ford at one of the club's convention back when it was at the Aladdin. Turns out, he lived close to me here in the frozen state of Minnesota! Of course, close, is relative..... But there was at least one casino on the drive from my house to his, and two others within an easy commute of where he lived.

He also wintered in Arizona, and would bring back chips for me once he returned after the snow has melted.

We went on our fair share of casino runs, in particular the Charity Casinos of North Dakota.

I presently have all of his duplicate chips and I may (or may not) come into all or parts of his regular collection.

As soon as I know more, I will post what I can.
