I knew him on BoB and the Briarpatch. He was a great guy and will be missed by me.

He was not only a pipe smoking brother, but a lover of fine fountain pens as well. RIP good sir.

That is a bummer, I miss his posts. RIP, brother.

The family restaurant he worked at as a kid is now Gilligan's in Arlington Tx.

In an “ah ha” moment, Ford realized he needed a business that had both day and night traffic, and he decided to stick with a geography he knew: Arlington and UTA. He bought a fading downtown restaurant – the Flying Dutchman – on East Abram Street, the idea being to cater to the downtown crowd in the day, UTA students and faculty at night...
