My deepest sympathies to Rob's family.

RIP Rob. This is one man who lived as he wanted, and in his political career; his aim was the people. A sad day.

I had heard the man had been put on palliative care a few days ago so they could control his pain which is comforting. Rest in Peace before the next journey.

Job:14:14:
If a man die,
shall he live again?
all the days of my appointed time will I wait,
till my change come.
Job:14:15:
Thou shalt call,
and I will answer thee:
thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.

Sad end to a sordid affair. History considered, Ford was a great City Councilor who did many good things for his constituents and underprivileged youth. His time as Mayor was funny, zany even, but mostly sad, when it became obvious he was riding on an escalator into oblivion.

RIP Mr. Ford...

He was certainly a lightning rod for the city.

I suppose there's no nice way to die other than 'in your sleep' but to be plagued with cancer is about as rotten as it gets.

And to pass away at a relatively young age with 2 little kids left behind is all the sadder....

Too bad. He made politics interesting.

I hate cancer. It has no preference on who it destroys. Who it causes unimaginable pain. From family men like this to innocent little children it continues on. I hate it.

Yes and no. We don't know the cause of Rob Ford's cancer but he definitely had one of the conditions prerequisite to cancer.........grossly over weight!

One thing to remember JLM is that some of the medical treatments used to treat some forms of cancer do cause weight gain . We knew a kid in our town that had a form of brain cancer and he gained a tremendous amount of weight before he died. Who knows what causes this disease but Id be willing to bet that the key lies in discovering the mysteries of our immune systems.
