Forrest was resourceful and always eager to lend a hand. He carried shingles to the rooftop of our first home. Another time, Forrest surprised us by bringing large foundation stones to landscape our new home. We will remember Forrest for his generosity and friendly ways.Tim and Janet Byrd and Family
My brain has been flooded with memories of the days visiting the farm\u2026Forrest and the boys loved making fun of us city folk, climbing the hill, hedgeapple fights, stepping in cow Pattie\u2019s, etc! Once \u201cForry\u201d, as we called him, tried to get me to put my hand under a chicken to get the egg\u2026all I saw was a mad chicken and her sharp beak! No way!!! He was full of fun and energy, always thinking of new things to get into!! Talked me into crawling thru the huge drainage pipe \u2026. Was fine till I got to the bend, pitch dark for about 10 steps! Yikes\u2026 think I only did that once! Him and Fred use to run fast, barefoot down the gravel driveway\u2026 our poor city feet!! Again, no way! Will miss his friendly smile and sweet disposition, love you, Forrest!!!
