Ford made over 60,000 variable-star observations, and became the youngest member of the American Association of Variable Star Observers at the age of 16. He attended the University of Michigan, and served in the US Navy in World War II. Later in life, he played violin with the Stanford Symphony Orchestra of Stanford, Connecticut.
