After moving to Florida 5 years ago the one thing I knew I would have to find is a good motorcycle mechanic.
Well as usual between God and a few references I didn't find a good mechanic. I found a Great Mechanic. 
There are 3 things I know for sure about Bill Ford. He shot from the hip, he was extremely honest, and he had
something that very few seem to have in this world "Integrity".  Bill was the kind of man that did not pull punches 
and told you the way it was. If he didn't like you. You would know it. Christine wants told me Hey! Noel you know
Bill really likes you. I cant tell you how much that meant to me. For the past 3 years, I had a Holiday tradition. At 
Christmas I would drop by a bottle of "Bombay Saphire Gin". This was something I was hoping was going to be a 
lifelong tradition. Bill Ford was truly one of the few I would consider a real friend. I will miss hearing him say as I 
would enter his shop. "What's Going On Brother"  Bill Ford . "Gone Too Soon"  "But Never Forgotten"!


One of many great memories with Bill was, Not only was he a great, straight forward, nice and such a hard working man. Because,  it was so rare to see him sitting and if he was, it was him sitting in his truck to go home. (Laugh Out Loud)  But, so great with advice, and ALWAYS encouraged me to ride my motorcycle, just say, "Just be careful and Remember your invisible!". How he loved my bike because it was the year of the replica of the ZX11.  Any question I had, he would have a answer. Maybe, always not what you wanted to hear. But Honest and very Caring.  Last one to ever Touch my dirt bike and motorcycle. I send My Love and Prayers...Along, with my condolences to All his family and friends. RIP Bill.  Until We See You Again... 

To know Bill Ford was to Love him. He was a Good, Honest, Hardworking man.  I will miss the laughs and jokes we shared. One of my last memories with Bill, was him showing me his header's for his racing bike... Turned and said to me, "we're going to line em' up and race". I replied, "let me know!". (Laugh Out Loud).   I send my condolences to All his family and friend's.   Bill will be truly missed. "Till we meet again". 

Christine and family, please accept my condolences for your loss of a cherished loved one, Bill. I will never forget the first time I came into the shop- within a minute he asked what part of Pa I was from.  I guess my accent gave me away. Please find comfort in knowing that this is not the way it is supposed to be- and that God will soon wipe away our tears and eliminate death once and for all. . ( Psalms 37:9-11, 29; Rev 21:3,4)

Bill and I were the closest of cousins .....    We played in a band together called 
the  Outer Limits .....   We rode our mini-bikes together ......    We played with 
gators together ......   We lived very close to each other , so we had alot of 
childhood memories .......      I will miss him very much  ......   Bill if there is a 
motorcycle shop in Heaven .....  I know GOD will have you running it .....
