The media industry farewells John Fordham

John Fordham, a media contributor, celebrity agent and father to 2GB’s Ben Fordham, passed away over the weekend after a long battle with throat cancer. He was 75.

Ben Fordham paid tribute to his father on 2GB, speaking to his father’s long-time friend Alan Jones, and said he had a “happy ending” and that the family are doing “really well”. As well as Ben Fordham, John Fordham is survived by wife Veronica, children Sarah and Nick, and brother Bob.

My dad John has died peacefully surrounded by his family. It was a special goodbye and we feel blessed. He never missed a chance to tell people he loved them so he died with no regrets. Today he’s being awarded an ‘Order of Australia’ for service to charity. Love ya, Jack x pic.twitter.com/OhJnxsSXiC
