Forrest H. Taylor

I met Forrest when I was a Detective Sgt. in CID at BPD. Forest answered the phones and worked with us as a volunteer. One day we spoke about WW II and I found out he and Dad both landed on Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944.... D-day and both of them were involved in the Battle of the Bulge.... Forrest, you and my dad were part of the greatest generation. When you get to heaven, please look my dad up.....God Bless you Forrest and thank you for being part of my life.....you will be missed...God...

We, as so many others, had our lives touched by the gentleness, knowledge and shining example of what being a Christian is all about. Forrest knew and acknowledged that he owed everything in his life to God. We have many fond memories of our friendship with Forrest.

We at truly grateful for all the time that Forrest volunteered at the Bethlehem Police Department - he was a true gentleman and always willing to lend a hand!!
Thank you for your years of service to your Country and your Community!! You will be missed!!

R.I.P. Mr. Taylor. You will always be remembered as a man of honor and dignity. I will always remember the cold winter evening of your presentation. You thanked the audience for attending. As you told your story of the Battle of the Bulge, you mentioned that two fellow soldiers in your Company died of exposure. Here you thanked us for so little while we thanked you for so much. Thank you for saving the world- we will never forget you or your generation. Rest Easy Sildier.

God bless to a true WWII hero and a humble man. It was a pleasure hearing your story of your time in the service. Rest in peace, Sgt.

Forrest was a true gentleman.
He made you feel like family.
Being in his company made you a better person.
I will never forget his fascinating stories.
I will truly miss spending time with him, and being in his company.
