May Forrest rest in peace. He was one of the finest people I ever knew ! Forrest and wife Sharon, from Toledo, lived part time in Phoenix, AZ at Caribbean Gardens Condominiums where I also live and we were very good friends.

Sharon, Jenny, Cathy, Steve & Family- Forrest was one of those larger-than-life people. He was a fixture in childhood and beyond due to the fact that Jenny is one of my best friends since 1st grade. He was always so good-natured, easy to smile & laugh, and had a twinkle in his eyes. I appreciate how he was a loving husband, father & grandfather. He worked hard and he played hard too. Sending you love and prayers at this difficult time. Love you all!

Jenny, I am so sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family on the passing of your father.

Forrest and I crossed paths at Hope Lutheran. The friendship spark happened instantly as Iowa and the Hawkeyes are something we both love. He was such a kind and loving man! Sharon, I love you too. Forrest was just special, I regret not keeping in touch when we moved north. We will meet again my lovely friend when Jesus also calls me home.

I am very sorry for your loss ! Funny thing , I was just thinking of him yesterday as I passed by the old office and how he gave my father his start in the insurance industry . He was a good man! May he rest in peace !

Our sincere condolences to the Gorkowski family. Forrest started us on our life's financial journey which continues today. Thank you, Forrest.
