Birth date: Jul 27, 1947 Death date: Mar 29, 2023
Jim Ford, age 75 of Jenks, Oklahoma, passed from this life Wednesday, March 29, 2023, with his bible in hand. He was born July 27, 1947, to Walter and Nita (Roberts) Ford in Converse, Louisiana. Jim was a stockbroker and Trust & E Read Obituary
When Jim first moved to Tulsa, the first thing he did was look for a church that sounded compatible with his theology. The greeter who met him at the door introduced him to me because of our mutual interest in Reformed theology. That meeting led to a years-long friendship.
Upon Jim’s joining the congregation, the Pastor asked Jim to come forward and introduce himself. He quipped that upon visiting the first time, I was the first person he met, but he decided to stay anyway. Raucous laughter ensued.
Jim and I met regularly for breakfast and theological debates until he moved out of state for awhile. Upon his return we renewed our breakfast meetings until health issues intervened. We continued to talk regularly by phone, text and email.
I am, and will always be grateful for his friendship. His passing was completely unexpected, and I miss him dearly.
