"And the last thing was (Ford's former staffer) Olivia Gondek. It says I wanted to eat her pussy, I've never said that in my life to her, I would never do that. I'm happily married, I've got more than enough to eat at home."
Rob Ford, who was mayor of Toronto from 2010-2014, has passed away from cancer at the age of 46.
Ford was the Ward 2 city councillor member from Etobicoke North since 2000, when he wasn't mayor, until his death.
Ford had a really horrible battle with the cancerous tumor that was found in 2014 that knocked him out of the mayoral race. By every imaginable measuring stick, he suffered a lot before his death.
The former mayor is survived by his wife Renata and two children.
Ford lived a very short life but was filled with unimaginable events and stories, a few of them with the details listed below. He lived his life as he wanted to before he got sick. It might seem untimely to focus about the crazy things Ford did, but that was what Ford was in his life.
Here are some stories from 2014 followed by our retrospective that goes above and beyond, even with events before he became infamous in the world's eyes.
