My husband, Forrest
This was a joyful and beautiful man that loved to share his joys. His storytelling ability was uniquely his and our hearts are full of those special memories.
My life with him got bigger and better over the years with his guidance and direction.
His love of God and family gave me and our son, Todd, stepping stones to a good and happy life.
Lovingly, Judy

I have Forrest's old phone number. I'm always getting calls and texts for Forrest and Judy. I thought it was unfortunate that I looked him up to find his obituary. I would like to send my condolences to the family.

Mrs. Smith, I spent an hour or so with your husband one afternoon recently (I volunteer at Seasons). I had such a nice visit with him and so enjoyed talking about you, his life, and his dog. He asked questions about myself and made me laugh several times. I stopped by a couple of times and saw you there with him and a few friends as well and did not wish to interrupt. I just wanted you to know that even though my time with him was incredibly brief, he touched my heart and made me feel like a friend. I know he will be missed terribly.

I just recently thought of Forrest. He hired me at AZ over 20 years ago, and to this day is one of my most favorite "bosses." Forrest was a kind and fair manager, and his stories were legendary. My condolences to his friends and family.

Saddened by his passing. Forrest was my very first manager with Stuart Pharmaceuticals. He and Don Frank did my final interview in Athens. He was a special manager who was smart and also had a sense of humor that made working fun. I was glad Aubrey got to know him when we went early to one of the launch meetings in Hawaii and they played golf. He was the best storyteller and he will be missed. We are currently on a ship and don´t return to Georgia until the 21st. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I saw a rainbow this morning and said a prayer.
