Gerald Ford Tells Jimmy Carter “Welcome Home Old Friend” in Eulogy
Additionally, it’s worth noting that President Gerald Ford was part of this arrangement with President Carter, agreeing to write and deliver each other’s eulogies at their respective funerals while they were both alive. However, since Ford passed away in 2006, being 11 years older than Carter, he selected his son, Steven Ford, to read the eulogy instead of him. This task was carried out by Steven during the funeral held on January 9th at the National Cathedral.
