Forrest W. Simmons

Wow, what a life. My mother and father loved Forrest and B.J.

BJ: Since I will, I hope be 93 this October, as Betty will be 97 this month, I have been compliling my Memoirs, whic features my comments about Forrest, who was my memtor for years at our law firm. He was a great guy and a true mentor with many contacts that afforded me the experience to get ahead in my legal career. For some reason I missed his OB until this week. We really never discussed his background. He had quite an athletc backbround. I can see where Bob Mautz and he really hit it off!...

I’ve had the pleasure of working for his company. He was a fine man and highly respected. May he Rest In Peace. Gunther Hoffmann

Forrest's family is thinking about him today, Father's Day. He was the best!

To BJ and the boy's...Forrest was an exceptional man. He lived a full life. What wonderful memories and what a legacy! God bless. Robert & Ellie Williamson

Forrest was a wonderful, caring, intelligent friend and partner. He will be sorely missed.

To all of Forest's family. Arno and Forest enriched each other's lives.And mine too. I'll never forget our fishing trips all over BC. Fly fishing is still one of my favorite activities (I was fishing the Crooked River Sunday and Monday). Best WishesDavid Denecke

Dear BJ,

Our hearts are with you in fond memory of Forrest. A good life, well lived. He's out there fishing somewhere with old buddies, and smiling.

Take care of yourself.

I had the pleasure of working with Forrest while he was chair of the Finance Committee at Holladay Park Medical Center. He was always a gentleman and provided good counsel.
