Coach Ford-the short time I was able to spend with you was great! I am just sorry that me and my boys never made it out to go on that fishing trip. Your baseball knowledge will be greatly missed. Our family will miss you dearly.

While visiting my relatives in Jones Creek each holiday season, Philip would stop by the house to see my Aunt Y and my cousins, Deana, Linda, and Carla White. Philip had many stories to tell, as he was still very outgoing and he loved the Freeport-Jones Creek area.

Some of my most treasured memories are times I spent with the Ford family growing up. I know that this sudden loss of your beloved brother, Dad and Granddad is unbearable right now. But my prayer for each of you is that you will find some peace and comfort in knowing that Phillip touched so many lives with his quick smile and honest love for his friends.
