Mr. Forrester was one of my dad's best friends throughout my lifetime and beyond. Mr. Forrester was so close to my family that he was the only one outside of my family that called me by my Chinese name. I am greatly saddened to hear of his passing and his family has my heartfelt condolences for their loss.
