Rest in peace. Thanks for the laughs

[@MysterE95]

Damn looking back it was sick how society treated this man. I’m 27 now, I’ve worked in rehab facilities for several years, addicts are treated like bad people and it’s sad.

[@gregorystiller975]

Mayors also act like bad people, if this man knew he was an alcoholic before he ran for office…he shouldn’t have run for office. Sometimes you have to admit your limitations.

[@OpticianGuy]

RIP big guy. Loved u as a Councilor and as Mayor.

[@mcdonaldgc3020]

Nobodys perfect but a real man acccepts his mistakes

[@ZorenA65]

[@ericj5575]

He banged 50 rocks like no one else. Rocks are being smoked around the world in honor of Rob Ford. Rest in Peace.

[@jeffreyquinonez8964]

Lol 😂

[@mariog4095]

He had his short comings, and in his own words he wasn’t perfect. But he was himself, and he was honest about it. That’s rare these days.

[@jeffreyquinonez8964]

Rip Chris Farley 😔 🙏 ❤️

Greatest mayor in Canadian history . Nobody loved the city of Toronto more than this man

[@richie4633]

+shayne m And he will be missed. RIP Mr. Ford.

[@RR-xu5xk]

From nothing, to being on top, to hitting rock bottom and then dying all within a span of a few years. What a roller coaster ride it was.

[@leomallard9358]

It's been almost four years since Mayor Rob Ford passed away, but the memory of this sweet man and his outrageous antics still puts a smile on my face and warms my heart. He was truly one of a kind and a very dear soul. I'm not Canadian and I've never lived in Toronto, but I miss him greatly. Rest in Peace Rob.

[@Gaetano.94]

What a beautiful man. RIP Robbie

A sad day for Toronto but given the health situation he was in it was probably only going to be a matter of time. My condolences to his wife, his children, his brothers and sister and his other family members as well as his many friends. He will not be forgotten nor do I believe his absence from this world will be an easy hole to fill. RIP Rob Ford Robert Marshall

[@rikeshpatel6414]

He had so much talent I wish he kept going for many years including during Covid this dude would have been a machine. As someone down in Alabama this guy was pretty real deal to watch growing up.

[@Milokitty-en5nb]

He seemed honest. And that’s the most important thing for a politician. At least in the eyes of the people. A man of the people.

[@mrpopular1232]

illuminati got him
