He was a great actor...he'll be missed.

I always thought he deserved the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for "Superman: The Movie". He was truly superb as Jonathan Kent. A darn good actor, for sure, and a good guy to boot!

I saw him recently in Blackboard Jungle. A great actor, and he was pure heart in Superman '78. His speech about things getting a lot clearer when you get older was truly moving. A sad day indeed.

He will be missed. Wonderful actor and really made you in Jonathan Kent and why Superman was who he was. RIP

wow I just watched Superman: 78 the other day, I didnt even know mr Ford was still arround

Here is one of my fave quotes from him in the movie taken from www.imdb.com

Jonathan Kent: [after Clark has beaten Brad's car to the Kent farmhouse... by RUNNING!] Been showing off a bit, haven't you, son?
Young Clark Kent: ...Oh, I didn't mean to show off, Pop. It's just that... well, guys like that Brad, I just wanna... well, I know I shouldn't, but...
Jonathan Kent: I know. You can do all these amazing things, and sometimes you think that you will BURST WIDE OPEN unless you can tell someone about it, don't you?... There's one thing I know for sure, son. And that is, YOU ARE HERE FOR A REASON. I don't know what it is, exactly, but I do know this much: it's NOT to score touchdowns.

He was one of the best cast members of that movie, and will be missed.
