“I know my dad is in a better place now and he’s the mayor of heaven now.”
Fords wife Renata sat crushed, comforted by their son Dougie as a who’s who of politics gathered to say goodbye to the 46 year old. Brother Doug thanked everyone from political enemies to allies for their compassion in helping remember a man who’s ambition was even larger than his office.
The day began with a procession from Toronto’s City Hall to St. James Cathedral. Doug and family marched behind the hurse, as they were joined by thousands who chanted, “best mayor ever, best mayor ever.”
