He's A Good Guy



Watching the coverage of the funeral of former President Gerald Ford they showed a clip of his daughter Susan Ford. She was remembering her dad and stated there never was a time she was ashamed of her dad , nor a time he ever failed her..... " he's a good guy ."
What a way to be remembered !! Every dad should be so lucky. I suspect it would even be harder as the President of the USA. His son Jack said his dad was proud of the title President but just as proud as the title of Dad and Granddad.
His wife Betty said "His life was filled with love of God, his family and his country." President Bush said "President Ford was a great man who devoted the best years of his life in serving the United States." The first President Bush said "Ford was, simply put, one of the most decent and capable men I ever met.
I remember President Ford being appointed after the resignation of Richard Nixon . I cast my first vote for President for Gerald Ford in 1976 but he lost the election to Jimmy Carter. But, Gerald Ford as President reassured my political thought process.
Known as honest, integrity and openness he was a man of his word. All Americans should be thankful for his years of service to our country. God bless his family during these times.
