Jan. 23, 1947- Mar. 31, 2011

Bobby "Rooster" C. Forker, 64, of Startup, WA passed away at Merry Haven in Snohomish, WA early Thursday morning. Rooster was born in Hemet, CA to a military family. He attended military school, played guitar by ear and was a teamster from Local Union 174. After retiring from HOS Brothers Const-ruction, Rooster was often found tinkering at home which he shared with his wife, Terrie "Tator" Mohr-Forker, her animal rescues as well as their personal kitties, mainly his buddy, Vinnie.
Rooster always had an opinion, was never afraid to express his point of view and was well respected by his peers, friends and family members.
He is survived by his wife, Tator; son, Robert W. Forker; brothers and sister-in-law, Steve and Bev Forker; step-daughter, Julie Milburn-Johnson; and grand-daughter, Mikala "Bug" Milburn.
A remembrance is planned at 2:00 p.m., Sunday, April 10, 2011 at Razzals, 9327 4th St. NE., Lake Stevens, WA, 98258.
Flowers are welcomed and any memorial donations may be made to Tator's non-profit rescue, Tazzy's Siamese Rescue, PO BOX 123, Startup, WA, 98293.

Hi Terrie,
I know how difficult a time this is, "Rooster" sounds like a wonder man and life partner, I'm sorry he had to go on ahead of you. He will be taking care of the fur angels and waiting for you while you take care of those here on this earth. They will all be waiting to greet you when it is your time to go home to them ... take care of yourself and know "Rooster" is watching over you from a distance.

I have added a tribute for him to our CLS Service.

Bobby was one of my dad's best friends and even though they had not been in contact in a while I know that if my dad was still alive would grieve the loss of Rooster just as much as anyone.
I'm sorry to hear of your loss and I hope that with time you'll be able to heal from your loss.

To my husband you will be missed greatly by me and all of the kitties especially your kitty Vinnie. Your love for us will never be forgotten as it will be treasured for the duration of our lives. We had many good years together and some not so great but mostly because you were sick. You always had a smile and cared about my well being as it showed when you would shower me with gifts whether they were large or small. You were my partner in life. May you find peace and happiness in your new home.
I will always love you!
With love your wife!
Tator
