My condolences to your family. When I played football many years ago Forrest was my favorite player. He still is. I was a Green Bay fan and still am. I learned to block by watching him He is the greatest lineman I ever saw. You were very fortunate to have him. May God keep him.

I met Forest in 1955 while living with his sister Ann. Life has happened and I have lost contact with her. I would love to reconnect. Me name ie Bettie White Junkin 973 824 4445 or [email protected].
