We had a ton of fun wrestling values from the beginning of the cad´s. That and playing in golf tournaments always brings back what a special guy he was...

Forest was a jolly guy that really enjoyed other people and he was always fun to be around. He loved golf, fishing, refereeing basketball and country and western dancing. I worked with Forest for more than fifty years. He always lit up the room. We always called each other "Little Brother". He will be dearly missed.
