..yup. I think he may have been the only surviving member of the "Warren Commision" till his death.

When someone first told me Gerald Ford was dead at the age of 93, I thought it was a joke.

So I guess the freeway I take to the mall will now be called the Gerald R. Ford Memorial Freeway, and you can add memorial into our airport too. woot Grand Rapids.

i got to hear him speak to a group of cub scouts in 1976 as part of a bicentennial event :moon:

I'm surprised he held on for this long 😛. The man lead a great long eventful life, luckily there's no tragedy here.

Sad news.

President Ford was the first President I voted for, in 1976;
and he lost the election to President Carter.

I thought he did a good job.

I remember reading some threads about Gerald Ford passing away a while back here, what was that all about?

In short, there was a skit on SNL where "Tom Brokaw" was pre-taping various stories for how Gerald Ford could have died, so that he could be on vacation in Barbados over the Winter in case Ford actually did die. This included things such as being shot & dying at the senseless age of 83, being eaten by wolves, and being killed while Brokaw came out of the closet on the same day. It's a hilarious skit, and Mill reposts "Gerald Ford dead today at the senseless age of XX" threads periodically.

One of the all time great SNL sketches 😀 😛

Yes it is!

🙁 I heard it was senseless at least, peliminary reports do not indicate whether or not he was delicious.




And, R.I.P. Mr. President.

EDIT: Well he lived longer than most people would have thought. Time to keep the flag at half mast for 30 days.
