James "Tim" Timothy Ford

He was a devoted father to Karlie Rhiannon Bozic (Ben), and Jeremy Phillips (Jacala) and Grandfather of Grace, Juden and Silas Bozic, and Piercen and Carter Phillips. He was the son of his late Father, James Edgar Ford and his late Mother, Barbara Grace Stattner and was the loving little brother of his late sister Deborah Firpo. Also brother to David Mugg, Phillip, Wanda, and Juanita.

Tim never met a stranger, and if he did, they wouldn't stay one for long. He had an unwavering helpful spirit that extended out to everyone that knew him. He had a positive, “let’s figure it out” attitude.

Tim was a lover of cars, building and woodworking, a crisp Pepsi, and classic rock music. He enjoyed playing all sports in his younger years, and loved watching them throughout his life. He was a big fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, Royals, IU Hoosiers Basketball, and loved watching the Little League World Series every year. Although, by far his favorite sports to watch were the ones his grandkids were playing that season. Tim’s kids, grandkids, and close family were the topic of his conversations. He was also so proud to say he was a Computer Programmer for the Huntington National Bank for 28 years where he had several close lifelong friends and was proudly known as Tim the Tool Man. This is also how he met Toni, his loving companion later in life.

Known as so many things: Dad, Papa Tim, Tim Ford, Mit, Mr Ford, may he rest easy in peace. You will be so greatly missed by so many.
