Dear Debra and family, I served with Bob in Peace Corps-Thailand and several of us have come up with photos of him from those years that we´d like to share with you. Please tell me what email address we might use to send these to you if you would like to have them. Thinking of you all and remembering Bob fondly. Jud Haverkamp

Debbie,children and Judy. I´m so terribly sorry to hear about Robert´s passing. He was such a nice man and Judy,I know you loved your brother so much. You all have each other and a huge support network. You´ll hold each other up.

What a great teacher and wonderful man Dr. Forney was. I remember him well from my days as a student at MCO when I spent a fair amount of time hanging around the wonderful Pathology Department. May our Lord comfort all of his loved ones. Sincerely, Dorrin M. Birch, M.D.

Our area would never accomplished all we have without the presence of Dr. Forney. Rest in peace, my friend. John Tharp

Debbie and Family, I was devastated to learn that Bob had passed. He had been a role model, friend, mentor, colleague, and a source of spiritual support. Laura and I are deeply sorry for your loss.

I was saddened so much by Bob's passing. All my thoughts and prayers are with the family. God used this man to change my life for the better. Couldn't help thinking when I heard he'd passed on Sunday, he really had a good day and was inspired to write this in Bob's memory. Today he had a good day, he woke up in Heaven, the old had passed away, new kind of life was given. Looked, he saw Him smiling, the Savior he adored, then walked down the streets of Heaven, they walked, arm in arm. How...

Debby and Family So sorry to hear about Bobs passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Am very sad to hear , of Bob's passing, but happy for his home going. He and always will be a special person to so many, and will be greatly missed. Until we all meet again. For his wife and children, I know you will miss him most, and pray for God's grace and love to fill your hearts.
