Harvey A. Ford, III, of Marshfield, passed away on August 19. 2017, at the age of 82.  Harvey was the beloved husband of Patricia L. (Lenardson) Ford and loving father of Harvey A. Ford, IV and his wife Laura, Amy L. White and her husband Jeffrey, and Emily N. Zibinskas and her husband Daniel; proud grandfather of Samuel and Bennett Ford, Lydia Clemens and J Wheeler White, and Grady and Natalie Zibinskas;  brother of Thomas Ford and his wife Judy, Greg Ford and his wife Doreen, Thomas Wheeler, William Ford and his wife Nina, Michael Ford and his wife Marybeth, and Marsha Pulling and her husband John; Harvey also leaves his nieces and nephews, Christine and Thomas Christopher, Valerie and Eric, Erika and Christopher, Michael and AJ, and Katie.

Harvey was born in Columbus Ohio and raised in Troy, Ohio. He attended Harvard University for a year before enlisting in the U.S. Army in 1954, where he served until 1956. When he returned, he attended and graduated from Ohio Wesleyan in 1961. Harvey worked for Liberty Mutual and then for the Bank of Boston, as an Investment Banker/Bond Broker, retiring in 1995.

Harvey was an avid collector, putterer, and tinkerer and would happily spend hours figuring out how to fix a problem with ingenuity and perseverance rather than buy whatever new. He liked nothing more than spending time with friends and family, exchanging anecdotes and laughter. He was an avid recreational athlete and in recent years enjoyed watching his grandchildren explore their own athletic prowess.  We will all miss him

A Graveside Service with Military Honors will be held on Friday, October 13, 2017 at 2:30 p.m. at Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Harvey's name can be made to Season's Hospice Foundation, 6400 Shafer Court, Suite 700, Rosemont IL 60018.
