I met Major General Forman at Fort Dix while raking his lawn during basic training in the Summer of 1982. He taught us all the 3 D's .. Discipline Discipline and Discipline. .. RIP Sir. , Private Rogers.

Gen Forman was the post CO when I went through boot camp at Ft. Dix in '82. Thank you for your service, sir and God bless your loved ones in this time.

He was a great mentor and friend to Melissa and me. I was his aide at Leavenworth and I told him chose me because I had two small children and Hanna Jean loved them like her own. Considered him a part of my family. I will miss him. Charlie and Melissa Wilson

I am grateful for the life of Lt. General (Ret.) Forman. Thanks to his service and to the service of others in our armed forces, my family and I have been able to lead our lives in freedom and peace.

We considered it a blessing to know both Bob and Hannah and their daughters.
We first met the four of them when we went on a trip to Israel together. A very wonderful trip for all who went.
Bob and Hannah were in the Prime Timer's class with us for many years and we saw Bob as the man of integrity that his obituary says he was.

We will miss him.
