FORREST VOSS Obituary

VOSS--Forrest Denney. Forrest Denney Voss, 74, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully with his wife Mary Lou by his side at home in New Canaan, CT on August 16th. Denney was born on April 24th, 1949 in Aurora, IL to Dorothy Denney Voss and Forrest Wayne Voss. He graduated from UNC Chapel Hill in 1971 where he became a member of the DKE fraternity and formed lifelong friendships. Following Officer Training School, Denney served in the Army and as a White House social aide. Denney went on to graduate from the Wharton School of Business in 1976. He spent most of his long career at Citibank where he worked in Sales, Trading and Portfolio Management. Denney will be remembered for his belief in treating everyone, stranger or not, to a friendly greeting, his willingness to do absolutely anything to make someone he loved happy while shrugging it off as nothing, his sparkling blue eyes and his incredibly loving and affectionate nature. Denney is survived by his beloved wife Mary Lou, his daughter Emily Lembo (Voss) and son-in-law Matt Lembo, his sons Parker and Carter Voss, his stepchildren, his seven grandchildren, and his brother Craig Voss (Martha) and sister Camela Dillard (Robert). A funeral service will be held at The Congregational Church of New Canaan on Thursday, August 24th at 2pm. In lieu of flowers, please send donations in Denney's name to support esophageal cancer research at MSK at this site: bit.ly/fdv2023

I met Denney back in 1968 when we were freshman and fraternity brothers at UNC in Chapel Hill.He was one of the nicest and best friends a person could have and I have been fortunate to call him my friend for 55yrs.
Denney has done so many nice things for people and I am so glad that he was able to find Mary Lou and spend the last 17yrs enjoying life with her.I will mostly miss those golf games,bets and a beer or two after each round we had together.My guess is you and Eric have already teed it up in heaven and you have given him to many strokes.
We will miss you.
