I tried in the past to enter narrative but it doesn't appear on the page, just my name. I met Forrest in the early 1970's when I regularly went to Holiday Out on Hutchinson Island Florida. Forrest live several miles down A1A and he would come up to the rec hall or I would hitch-hike to his house and we would hang out day and night. He and I would swing on the giant flagpole at the entrance and I swear we went some 20-30 feet up in the air. He was a great friend to me back then that lasted several years. As it often occurs, we lost track of each other but I still have the fond memories of our friendship. My best to his family.

Forrest was my cousin by marriage. I am so sorry that he has left us but I know that he is now in a beautiful place and is with our Lord God. Forrest was a great guy and a man who loved his family and he had a great love for the oceans of the world! Travel on Forrest!
