John,
We fondly remember you on your Birthday! I was fortunate to be sitting beside you on a TWA flight in the 1980's. It was a pleasure meeting you and conversing with you on that flight!

We loved watching Dynasty all the way in Kenya, mostly because of Blake Carrington. We thought he was so cool, loving and handsome. We greatly admired his no - nonsense attitude We will miss him. Have been watching Dynasty in London now, just to see Blake again and can't believe he is actually gone from us. Rest in peace John Forsythe.

To the Forsythe Family,
Like a chameleon John had the ability to adapt to any situation he came across. That adaptability was so powerful that it even made those around him feel just as confident. Which is why his characters always had a huge fan base; even when they could only hear his voice in a scene, his natural charisma held everyone’s attention while he spoke. Please know that he touched many lives, for the better. And be comforted by God’s words found at 1Peter 3:18: Why, even Christ died once for all time concerning sins, a righteous [person] for unrighteous ones, that he might lead YOU to God, he being put to death in the flesh, but being made alive in the spirit.

To The Forsythe Family: For many years I have been a huge fan of John Forsythe. He was a true gentleman. I would just stare at him and how he carried himself on Dynasty. His smile and the twinkle in his eyes would melt my heart. I am stunned and devastated by his passing, but I know that when God receives him into Heaven, he will be received with great joy. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. May God bless and keep you.

to the Forsythe Family - a well man, actor and person. Always thinking of others. I will always remember sharing a room at cedars sinai hospital in the 1980's with his daughter who also had a surgery the same time as I and Linda Evans and John Forsythe came to my room which was right next to his daughter - such a nice man and he wrote me a note which still today hangs in my home. i wish i could tell him that - lovely man - rest in peace - Maryann

The man behind the voice, and what a voice it was! All young girls, including myself, who grew up during that era eagerly awaited the assignment given to the angels every week. He will be missed by so many.
Our sincere thoughts and prayers are with you. He is now in God's memory with the wonderful hope of being among the many who are called from the memorial tombs to live on a righteous, peaceful earth. (John 5:28 & 29) It's our prayer that this and the many other promises to be realized in God's new world bring you comfort and hope at this time.
Sincerely,
April 10, 2010
John(Charlie) will be truly missed in the TV industry as well as my all fans and that includes me (Stracey Robertson) of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Actors such as this are far and few between. He was a talented actor and will be remembered well through all the roles he played. I didn't know him personally but he seemed like a gentleman and someone worth knowing. My sympathies and prayers to family and friends.

During the St. Louis Variety Club Telethon in 1984, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Forsythe. I watched DYNASTY regularly and admired his portrayl of Blake Carrington as a saavy businessman and devoted husband. Although we had just met, we spoke as if we had been friends for many years. Mr. Forsythe was a very pleasant and sincere man who exemplified the word "gentleman". He generously assisted the Variety Club and the many children who benefited. I extend my deepest and heartfelt sympathy to his family. Please know that you and Mr. Forsythe are in my prayers

I worked at and met John Forsythe at WTVR TV 6 in Richmond, VA in the 1970s. He and our station manager, John Shand, who also passed away March, 2009 at the age of 90, were friends. In the few minutes of meeting and talking to Mr. Forsythe, I found him to be a nice, handsome and soft spoken person. There was a down to earth goodness about him. Rest in peace, John and thank you for starring in some unforgetable roles as an actor.

My heart just dropped to my feet, as I am viewing this info on the net today by surprise before hearing the news. I too, just as many, had a crush on Mr. Forsythe for as long as a 53 year old woman can remember. He was absolutely gorgeous, with a distinct sexy voice, and ever so classy. His memory will last always and forever. My condolences to his family. He will be in my prayers.

Mr. Forsythe was one of the classiest actors on television and in Hollywood. I always enjoyed seeing him on television and the big screen. He was a very talented, articulate and good-looking man whose spirit came across as gentle. My fondest memory of Mr. Forsythe was his role in the Bachelor Father. May his family be comforted in the trying days ahead, and know that he brought many people happiness.
