Mark Towhey remembers former boss Rob Ford
KAMLOOPS — The former Kamloops man who once served as Rob Ford’s chief of staff is remembering the notorious ex-Toronto mayor as a champion of the common Torontonian.
Ford died of cancer today at the age of 46.
Mark Towhey grew up in Kamloops and served as Ford’s chief of staff until Ford fired him at the height of the crack video scandal in May of 2013.
Towhey says Rob Ford was the one person he would never bet against, and part of him thought he would beat cancer.
