Obituary of Rob Ford

Although we are not involved in the Funeral honouring Mr. Rob Ford, we wanted to provide an book of condolence for those that would like to express sympathies to his family. We will ensure that the notes and condolences are forwarded to the Ford family. “Councillor Ford’s family wishes to express their gratitude for the thousands of messages of support they have received from around the world,” said a statement from his office Wednesday afternoon, a day after Ford, 46, died at Mount Sinai Hospital from a rare and aggressive cancer. “As difficult as it is to say goodbye, they would like to do so in the same manner in which he lived his life, by sharing it with the people.” City hall, which is normally closed Easter Monday, will open its doors for Ford’s casket and his family at 9 a.m. Visitors will be allowed in from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Ford’s body will remain the next day, March 29, with visitation from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. On March 30, a procession is planned from city hall to St. James Cathedral on Church St. for a lunchtime funeral service. Following the funeral, the Ford family will host a “celebration of Councillor Ford’s life” at the Toronto Congress Centre in Etobicoke starting at 6:30 p.m., where video clips, to be submitted by the public, will be played.
