NTSA Mourns Loss of Richard Ford

The NTSA notes with sadness and great respect the passing of Richard Ford. He was Chief Marketing Officer for PlanMember Financial Corp., an NTSA Strategic Partner.

RICHARD FORD – who was not encouraged by him?… his support, his joie de vive, his commitments, his engaging smile, his love for others, his passion for this industry, his ability to forge forward outside the box, his sense of community, his wholistic approach… We have lost a leader, a friend, a torch bearer and a valiant gentleman.

Richard died suddenly March 14, as he was recovering from major surgery. He was a staunch supporter of NTSA in both word and action. Every suggestion and alert from Richard was soundly based for NTSA success, for industry value, for advisor growth or for client fulfillment. Richard was as proud of his many NTSA Elite Advisor teammates as he was of his newest colleague, challenging each to new potential. NTSA was his family – one of them.

All of NTSA and ARA join together in offering condolences to Richard’s wife Kimberly and their two children… and to his PlanMember family.
