Forrest Merritt Gist Sr.

Forrest, you and your family are in my prayers. I will be thinking of you Saturday at your dad's memorial service.
What an interesting man he was.

Many fond memories of Forrest from our days together at Pepsi Portland/Salem. Good stories of Citroens, hunting trips and times at Hungry HIll Goat Farm. As Forrest would say So Long. Bob/Janet John Day.

Your Dad was very sweet, engaging, and smart. He and your Mom were a great pair. He made a lasting impression on those who met him. Our condolences to Forrest and Elizabeth.

I had the pleasure meeting Forrest when I started working at Pepsi Portland in 1976 until 1986 when I moved. He was a very nice man.

I met Forrest in 1994 on the Citroen Raid America Northwest, a 3 week road rally/camping trip with 26 2CV Citroens, set up by Adam Reif of San Francisco area. Forrest came to meet us at a campsite if I remember right, and think I'd heard of him before that, visited him once and saw his Citroen/Panhard collection. Forrest was a very nice fellow, enjoyed some phonecalling with him after that trip. Sad to hear of his passing - he was always in our Panhard club roster, and Forrest sort of...

I met Forrest many years ago due to our passsion for Citroens - just remember him as a real nice guy. My condolences to his family.

What a great guy he was

I am sorry to hear of Forrest's passing. He and your mom were really good friends of my mothers and I remember them both very well. Such lovely people. May good memories lighten grief.

Beth - My thoughts are with you all at this difficult time! Take comfort in knowing your dad is with your mom watching over your family!! Xo
