Benjamin C. Forsterling

Dear Forsterling Family,
I was so sorry to hear about Benji. He was a great friend to me when I lived in WI. My sons William and Barrett Eisenhardt have wonderful memories of time spent with Benji at Cedar Lake when they were growing up. May he rest in peace. We will keep you in our prayers.
Sincerely,

My Dad, Cap Whinfield, had a deep fondness of Benji. Benji was a staff member, hired by Cap, at Camp Rokilio in the '30s and '40 and was much loved by every boy under Benji's joyous leadership.

Benji was a good friend to my Father and Family and will be missed.
While growing up, He taught me much about honesty, integrity, and responsibility. May He rest in peace!

Judy and Ron Matzen (neighbors across "Turtle Bay") extend their
condolences to the family of Benji Forsterling. We have enjoyed his holiday decorations, especially at the 4th of July.

Jean, Dick, Tom and Family,
We are sad to hear of Benj passing. We are so sorry that we will not be able to be there for his Memorial Service. Jack so enjoyed his visits with him and will miss his smile and wave to us as we round the bend at the Lake. May all the fond memories you had at Cedar Lake with him sustain you during the weeks ahead.
You have our Deepest Sympathy.

Sincerely,

Jack and Sharon Rief

Benji was my cubmaster starting in 1948 and scoutmaster several years after that. Meetings in the old Scout room in the basement of Zion House and camp-outs at Camp Akela are fond memories from my growing-up years, and Benji was a major part of all that. When I was ordained to the ministry at Zion in 1965 Benji and "Ma" Forsterling were there to celebrate with me, and I realized how much they contributed to my life. I'm so glad that Jean and I were able to return to Wisconsin in 2010 for...

Benji was a great neighbor and friend. We will miss visiting with him down at the lake.
