The Camp Fire claimed my Uncle Forrest. Yeah, kind of a play on words, but I think that he would approve.
Uncle Forrey had a great sense of humor, or at least a sense of humor that I appreciated. He was my favorite uncle...that said, he was the only one I had regular contact with. He was my father's best friend.

Forrest was a good man, I sat in the hot tub at the gym and has many great talks with Forrest. It broke my heart to here he lost his life in that darn fire. I will miss our talks, enjoy your walks in nature Forrest you were loved on this planet. Hugs....

I worked with Forrey at Feather River Hospital. He was a very kind and gentle man
