Via Fort Wayne Observed, Sen. David Ford has died.
According to his Statehouse office, Ford died early this morning at home from complications related to pancreatic cancer. He was 59.
Ford had been receiving hospice care and chemotherapy following hospitalization for what appeared to be flu-like symptoms in mid January.
Rest in Peace, Senator.
The legislature should honor Senator Ford by supporting his two pet technology projects.
They should complete his I-Light II university super computer research network after years of delays and provide funding for his vision of a Indiana focused CSPAN.
That would be a lasting tribute to a valuable Indiana statesman.
