Last year, a video of Mr Ford went viral which showed him opening up a gift bag as a reward for not missing a day of work in 27 years.
Thousands of Americans were moved by the clip and believed he should be given another gift.
Since then, a GoFundme fundraiser for his retirement has been set up in his honour, which has seen donations from celebrities such as David Spade.
Currently, the campaign has raised $401,670 (£319,508.40) for Mr Ford's retirement with the goal to hit $450,000 (£357,952.50).
His daughter Seryna set up the fundraiser to help pay for her father to visit his grandchildren in Texas.
Originally, the goal was a couple of hundred dollars but has since ballooned to over $400,000 very quickly.
She shared on the page why she has set up a GoFundMe fundraiser for her father's retirement.

I hear "no sick days in X years" and instantly assume "****er came to work sick countless times, got other people sick, and cost the company and the customers 100x more productivity than he would have if he'd just stayed home".
The idea of "come in at all costs" is such a false economy. MULTIPLE times as a manager I had a staff member come in sick (as in properly sick) "not wanting to inconvenience people" only to get 3 other members of staff sick as well. Madness. If you're ill stay at home ffs.
