Sharon and Mrs. Forbes, One of the Greatest Generation Heroes will be remembered!! Respectfully Jon "JR" Richardville

I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Mrs. Forbes and Sharon,

How sad to learn of your loss. I have so many fond memories of time spent in your family home with all of you. May you take comfort and find peace in remembering the kindness and friendship you extended to me for so
many years on so many occasions (especially rides in the Studebaker and Friday night dinners). Fondly, Dee Fernandez

I remember Mr. Forbes as member of Cavaliers Country Club in the 1970s. I was a young teen then but thought he was a nice man with a cool accent. I did not know he was still in Delaware and am sorry to hear he has passed away. I send my sympathies to his family.

Mr Forbes - you will be missed. You always made me smile when you came in the Hockessin Library and for that I thank you!
My sympathies to Mr Forbes wife and family. He was a special man.
