Dear Family Members of Dr Herbert Forman,

I have been searching for news of Dr Forman since the internet became popular. I was also a patient of Dr Forman's, but I became his patient in 1985 at Michael Reese's Psychiatric & Psychosomatic Institute. I was referred to him, by Dr Bey, from Brokaw-Mennonite hospital in Normal, IL. I had been transferred to Chicago from the hospital there, because I was a college student. At the time, most of Dr Forman's patients were geriatric.

I'm very grateful to Dr Forman for being my doctor and for really listening to me.

I would like his wife and children to know that I went back to school and became an RN. I graduated at the top of my class in December of 1999. I worked for 20 years as an RN. I wanted to thank him for saving my life when I was17-20 so I could have mental health recovery.

There was a day where, I didn't think I could take the pain of living, even one more day. But I kept living and have lived for 39 more years.

Thank you Dr Herbert Forman.
God bless your family.

While I did not know Herb very long, he was a kind, warm and loving man and I will miss him. Herb was part of the same support group I belong to at the Cancer Wellness Center in Northbrook, IL

I will always be grateful for Dr. Forman's dedication, warmth, neverending support and kindness. He was not only my doctor, he was also my guardian angel. Always making sure that I got the care I needed. He continually went that extra mile for me, never giving up or passing judgment. There will always be a special place in my heart for Dr. Forman. Without his care I would not be where I am today-Healthy and happy.

Dear Martha and Amy,

I am so sorry to hear of Herb's passing. What a terrible loss. I will always remember the great times we all had in the neighborhood during the good old days- he will always be quiet, gentle Herbie, Amy's big brother, to me. My sincere condolences to his family and love to you both during this very sad time.

We grew up together on Millbrook Lane......it seems like so long ago. Herbie was my brother's best freind. We shared the pleasures of a marvelous childhood: shooting baskets, croquet, running bases, statue maker, exploring the construction sites, cops 'n robbers, hide and go seek, you name it...........and of course our beloved Cubs. I have such great memories. Please accept my sincere condolences and special love to Mrs. Forman and Amy.

I knew Herb on the management team here at Kenneth Young Center. I am not a clinician, but I saw the depth of love and respect for this man, from clients and clinical staff alike. He was a caring, gentle, wise and thoughtful man, a capable and thorough doctor. His humor was quiet too, which made it all the more effective. We are sad and will continue to miss Dr. Forman. To his family - please know that you are in my thoughts as you go through this difficult time. I hope your memories of Herb bring you joy in the midst of sorrow. Betty Jones
