Frederick Harwood Forster

I was saddened to read about the passing of Fred. We met several years ago while attending the USAR Command and General Staff Officer course in the evenings at the Knoxville Reserve Center. I was always impressed with his patriotism and professionalism. Go with God.

My daddy served under Fred at the 134th. I always thought what a wonderful leader he was. He and Carolyn always making sure that there was a family support group when they were deployed for Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Joy helped my husband and I when she was first starting her business create our wedding invitations and programs. Fred's caring, thoughtfulness and other traits have certainly carried over into Joy. Anytime I was in her store I would always make sure to ask how he was...

My most sincere condolences to the Forster family on the loss of their dear husband and father, Fred. Fred was a soldier, leader and downright good country gentleman. I was HONORED to get to know him through business connections and blessed to call him friend. God Bless you all and may you find peace and joy in your many happy memories. Linda Adkins Ponce

I am saddened to learn of Fred's death. My mother was a dear friend of his mother, Harriet. Fred was always thoughtful, kind, and wise. The entire Forster family continues in my thoughts and prayers at this sad time.

We are very sorry to hear of your loss. Roe & Nell Southerland

May God grant his grace and mercy to the family. I am thankful to have known him and served with him.

God Bless you and your family during this diffcult time. I was fortunate to serve under his command in the 134th ARW. Col. Forester was a great leader and commander, he will be sadly missed.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Fred was my favorite "cousin", the bravest man I know and a true gentle man. He enriched my life by just knowing him and I will miss him. God is holding him in his loving arms and he is at peace. I grieve with you Carolyn., With love, Mary Lib
