George Ford (31 Oct 1935 - 29 Jun 2021)

Georgy Ford the man with big hats, big braces and a big heart.
Anna & I met George & Chris nearly 50 years ago and have remained close friends ever since. We had some wonderful times together. Motorhome camping in Norfolk and Northumberland. Holidays in Tenerife. Happy days playing squash with Simon and Eddie at Hallamshire & Sheffield Club.
George loved a good pint in good company. He was unfailing in his enthusiasm and was always there with sound advice.
We are so pleased that we broke Covid Rules to visit him and Chris a couple of months ago. We spent a lovely sunny day enjoying their company.
Thanks for all the memories Georgy. We will miss you and thanks for being a part of our lives.
Rob & Anna

I have some many memories of lovely and warm Uncle George and whilst it is so sad to hear of his passing his spirit will live on through Simon & Justine & their children. He helped me on my career path 40 years ago and I thank him for going out of his way. Always a smile and a sparkle in his eye - hilarious and fun to be with. My sincere condolences go out to Christine, Simon & Justine and their children and my thoughts and prayers go out to them on this difficult day. I would have loved to have been able to attend the funeral to support them and pay my respects but I will pour a beer (ensuring there’s a good head for Uncle George😉) and raise a toast to a great man. All my love Stuart Dorey xx

When I think of George I just smile. He seemed to always have a drink in hand, a smile on his face and a gleam in his eyes. The last time I saw him was Justine’s wedding. There too, a drink in hand and a smile on his face, a gleam in his eye only this time you could see he was even happier just knowing his baby girl was happy, loved and well cared for. George will be deeply missed yet his light shines bright in his children and grandchildren. My heart aches for his family yet I can almost hear the laughter as you take this time to reminisce. Love to you all.

Gorgeous Goerge, such a character with a wicked sense of humour and a heart of pure gold. Once met and loved forever by all that had the pleasure of your company. My heart is with your beautiful family. Keep them laughing up there dear chap. Xx

George, my children and I feel privileged to have met you, such a warm-hearted, lovely person with a fantastic sense of humour…always smiling and laughing- that is how we will remember you ❤️

My wonderful uncle George, You brought light and laughter in to every room you entered. You weren’t just my uncle, you were my godfather. I’m not sure you made me very godly 😂, but you certainly always made me feel loved. I will miss you always 💔
