Forrest was introduced to me by his aunt and uncle, Victor and Emily Hunsicker. They adored him and apparently he had a similar personality to Emily. I was a young seventh grader who had just finished my first musical. A fan of Gomer Pyle, it totally took me by surprise when they invited me across the street to meet their “nephew”. He was kind and gracious. The world needs more people like Forrest Compton. Condolences to all friends and family.
