c’mon respect the privacy of the Ford family during our time of grief.
He always brought with him his spirituality a positive attitude and so much joy.
I am sad the world lost a great talent and that I lost a wonderful friend.
God bless him and his family.
We bonded over 5 seasons of #whosgotjokes a show that highlighted so many of the next generation comedians.
I just want the fans to pray for all of our families.
