He was proud to serve his country in the U.S. Army Reserves. Pastor Ford was an ordained minister, and pastored at the Church of God in Willshire, from 1972-1981, and was a member of the Willshire Ministerial Association. He and Reva moved from Willshire in 1981; he pastored in Linton, Indiana and Seymour, Indiana for the Church of God congregations there. Upon retiring from the ministry, he and Reva moved back to Willshire in 2004, where they called their home. He was a wonderful woodworking craftsman, and enjoyed making beautiful objects from a shapeless piece of wood. He enjoyed his family, and adored and loved all his grandchildren; family was everything to him.
Surviving are two children: Kim (Matt) Feasel of Woodburn, Indiana, and Jeff (Terri) Ford of Columbus, Ohio; 35 grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and 1 step-sister, JoAnn (Marvin) Reichart. Deceased is a son, Edwin Lauren Ford III.
