Arthur E. Ford, age 70, passed away on March 18, 2016 at Mayo Clinic Health System in Eau Claire.
Arthur was a loving and devoted husband to Elaine M. Ford for over fifty years. During their marriage they raised seven children Arthur Jr., Thomas (Tina), Michael, John (Becky), Sandra, Steven (Melissa) and Joseph. Arthur was a very proud grandfather to nineteen grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Family was extremely important to him and he loved unconditionally.
He is preceded in death by his parents: Clyde and Irma; son Michael; sister Marriane; brothers: Ronnie, Dayton and Arnold.
For many years Arthur worked for Fabco Caterpillar in Eau Claire, WI. Many long time friendships were developed with his Fabco family. Arthur’s smile was contagious and his generosity unending. He loved to laugh and joke with everyone he encountered, leaving behind many memories for his friends and family to cherish.
Arthur experienced much happiness and joy in his life on the seat of a tractor. His love of tractors began many years ago when lawn care and landscaping became Arthur’s favorite pastime. Many happy hours were spent putting in and maintaining a lawn or snowplowing. Along with a passion for his Kubota tractor, Arthur enjoyed fabricating many items from scratch such as tractor cabs, trailers or a dump box. Arthur also received great joy over the years while camping or vacationing with Elaine.
