The Good Samaritan – Begins with Horace Ford…
In 1992 Shellie Ford-Brown suggested that we establish an award to recognize members of our family that have made exceptional contributions to the well-being of the family over a sustained period of time. The decision was made to name the award the “Horace Ford Good Samaritan Award” in honor of our brother Horace whose life characterizes those attributes that we wanted to recognize and perpetuate. His unselfish devotion and generous contributions to the family are well known. Appropriately, Horace Ford was the first recipient of the award in 1992.
To qualify for this award the individual being recommended must be a descendant of our family patriarch Grandpa Charlie Ford or related to a descendant by marriage. Your recommendation must include a brief summary of why you feel the individual should receive the award. Your summary may include whatever information that you feel will reflect favorably on the selection of the individual you are recommending. You can submit your recommendation online via the link below. It must be received by May 1, of the year concerned. Normally only one individual is selected annually. Previous recipients of the award are voting members for the final selection.
