For his service he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and a Purple Heart along with other medals and commendations. While serving in the 8th Air Force in England, he met his beloved wife Anna Leczner, who was an active duty nurse.

Ford, Jr. and wife Janice of Azle, TX; and Jerry Ford and wife Pamela of Monroe, LA.; granddaughters: Capt. USAFR Rebecca Ford Burbridge and husband Dean (a Lt.
