Obituary

Born March 31, 1929, our beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend peacefully entered eternal rest on September 2, surrounded by his loving family in the comfort of his home.

Left to cherish his memory are his beloved wife of 77 years, Doris Evelyn Bailey Ford, a testament to a lifetime of love, commitment, and devotion; two daughters, Marsha F. Ware and Lloyde'F. Person (Levi); two grandchildren, Shari H. Flowers (Meko) and Stephen Lloyd Hobson Jr.; great-granddaughter, Mackenzie Hobson; a host of nieces, nephews, extended family members and dear friends.

A man of faith, he was a faithful and devoted member of St. Philip's Episcopal Church, where his faith and connection to his church family were an important part of his life.

His life was a blessing to those who knew and loved him, and his memory will forever remain in the hearts of his family and friends. Though he will be deeply missed, his family finds comfort in knowing that his love, wisdom, and legacy will continue through the generations.

"Well done, good and faithful servant."
