Judge Richard Ray Ford was remembered at his memorial service last week as "one of the hardest working Knox County Criminal Court judges in recent history." Ford died Dec. 20 at 93. Among the dignitaries speaking at his memorial were retired state Court of Criminal Appeals Judge Joe D. Duncan, who practiced law with Ford in the 1950s, and Duncan's brother, John J. Duncan Sr., the longtime Knoxville mayor and congressman. Knoxnews columnist Georgiana Vines has the details.
