From A.P.:

MANHASSET, N.Y. (AP) -- Thomas Ford, a son of Hall of Fame pitcher
Whitey Ford, died
Monday at North Shore Hospital. He was 44.

Ford, who lived on Long Island, died of a heart condition, according to
Jason Zillo, a spokesman for
the New York Yankees, his father's former team.

After attending Broward Community College and New York Tech, Ford worked as
a cameraman
for WPIX, then the Yankees' flagship station. At the time of his death, he
owned several Blockbuster
Video stores.

In addition to his father, he is survived by his mother Pam, daughter
Lauren, son Sean, brother Eddie
and sister Sally Clancy.

A wake will be held Tuesday and Wednesday at the Fairchild Funeral Home in
Manhasset, and the
funeral will take place Thursday at St. Mary's Church in Manhasset.

Yes, I believe Whitey's wife (and Thomas's mother) is named Joan.
