His dedication and passionate work ethic was admired by many. He was a volunteer firefighter for the town of Ashby for many years, coached youth baseball and was a member of the Fitchburg Sportsman's Club.
His love for sports was evident from his high school career days through his adult softball leagues. If he wasn't watching the weather it was a local sporting event or sports talk radio. He was an avid hunter and golfer and enjoyed sharing the links with his son and friends.
He leaves behind his wife of 44 years, Joyce Fors, his son Derick Fors and daughter-in-law Jennifer of Townsend, his daughter Melissa O'Connell and son-in-law Brendan of Ashby. He adored being a "Bampi" more than anything and leaves behind his 4 grandchildren, Makenna, Jackson, Calvin and Cael. He leaves behind two step parents, Nancy Fors and Elmer Fitzgerald; four siblings, Kim Fors and wife Nancy, Brad Fitzgerald and wife Carol, David Fors and wife Audrey, Lisa Valera and husband Pete and many nieces and nephews.
He was the most generous man and adored by many. The memories he has created with Family and Friends will be everlasting and his infectious spirit will live on through the years.

Forsie you will be missed, my brother. So many great memories are flooding my mind, playing baseball and hooping together at NMRS. You took me under your wing in baseball and I reciprocated in basketball...the untellable tales. I will treasure these forever. You were from day one always a man that was accountable with a will and a heart that was as stout as they come. A friend always.
My love and thoughts to Joyce and his beautiful family that he was a hero too.
Huge man, huge loss.
Peace to you pal,
Kellogg

I had Scott Fors as a student at Ashby High School. He was one of my favorite people. He was bright, kind, and had a great sense of humor. I am so sad reading this and send condolences to his family.
