I sang beside Forester in the Frazer choir. He was a good man, a great friend, and a very good bass singer who taught me a lot about music. Just now learning of his passing. Sincere condolences to the family.

Glenda and Family, I was so sorry to learn of Forester's death. I know he had been ill for a long time. I pass your house almost every day and last week I saw a lot of cars. Please know that Brian and I are praying for you and your family. Forester was such a nice and fun man. I loved being in the Frazer choir with him. Love in Christ, Susan and Brian Kolander
