Greg & Philip, We were so sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad. We lived in Glasgow & would see him at least once a year. You may have forgotten us but we are Kathy & Sam Reynolds parents. We had visited in your home. June & Forrest were two fine Christain people. I know the church will miss him.

Greg, Donna & family, we were sorry to hear about Forrest. We didn't know anything about it until my sister called me late Thur. night; and to think the funeral home was right here by our house. We wish we could have came to the visitation. Eric should have put it on his blog on Pleonast & I would have seen it. We don't take the C. J. paper. I will try to call you soon. You have our deepest sympathies.

Forrest was a beloved friend to our family for many years. His friendship to my father was precious. They're many, many, many car pooling trips to Belknaps was legendary. I remember best his humor and always a wave from his porch when I drove by. He will be truely missed but always remembered.
