Gary Forman Obituary
on December 14, 2025 surrounded by his family at his home in
Waterford, Virginia.
Gary was a Viet Nam veteran honorably discharged with a Purple Heart
commendation. Gary spent his career as a systems engineer, where his
problem-solving skills and professional integrity earned the respect of
colleagues at Mitre Corporation in McLean, VA. Gary was an highly
skilled golfer, classic car enthusiast, and avid gardener.
Gary is survived by his beloved wife of 47 years, Joyce Forman, and his
children Laura, Donna, and Greg, as well as five grandchildren. He will
be remembered as a devoted husband, a loving father, and a man who
found meaning in his work, his various hobbies, and especially his
home and family.
His memory will live on in the lives he touched and the love he shared.
