Donald H. Rumsfeld (1932 – 2021)

A Statement by Mike Ford on the Passing of President Ford’s Second Secretary of Defense, Donald H. Rumsfeld

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. –– It is with a heavy heart that my family and I learned of the passing of Donald Rumsfeld, a good friend, faithful public servant, and long-serving Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation Trustee. The Ford family and many of our Foundation trustees remember Don Rumsfeld as a personally warm but professionally tough advisor and leader. Our father and Secretary Rumsfeld made a good team. They relied on each other’s good judgment at a particularly tough time in American history.
