Robert P. Fornshell

I have very vivid memories of Dr. Fornshell. He was very kind to my mother who worked for him, a well as myself.

Hoping your photos an memories bring you comfort.

Dear Rob, Will, Jim, and Family. I just learned of your Dad's passing, I am so sorry. Actually, I looked up your name, as I need medical attention for my knee. I hope you are all doing well, time has passed by so quickly. Take care. Sincerely, Robert Billings Wooster '77

My condolences to Mrs Fornshell, Will, Rob and Jim. Your father was such a kind and elegant man. I will always gratefully remember how much he helped me with my Mom when she broke her hip. My childhood was blessed having you all as neighbors. May the good Doc rest in eternal peace.

Rest in peace, Dr. Fornshell. You´ve been a respected colleague of my father´s and a dear friend of the Blansfield family. To me, you were always kind and patient, allowing me to spend a lot of time at your home and to tag along with Rob, Will and Jim on ski vacations, boating outings, and even summer vacations. Adding a fourth boy to your activities - with a big dog and all the gear the trip required (this was before there were minivans) - must not have been easy for you and Mrs. Fornshell,...

We are so sorry to hear this. Dr. Fornshell was a remarkable physician and kind and caring man. We are all better people for having known him. Our thoughts are with the Fornshell family, and we celebrate a full life well lived.

Will, Mary Jo, Rob, Antoinette and families, So sorry to hear of the loss of your father. Warm regards, Brigitte

I had the pleasure of knowing Bob in the Danbury Men's Club, the Twisters golf group, a monthly discussion group and even Barbara's women's club! What a gentlemen and friend he was. And his sense of humor was delightful. We will all miss him.

Always a gentleman and an amazing teacher!!! I had the great pleasure of working with and for this talented surgeon for several years. He will be missed but his legacy and years of service will live on! Thank you for always taking the time to share your knowledge!
