Forest Link Obituary

Skeeter loved ECM and that's where I met him. He gave tirelessly of his time seeing to it that the building looked its best without spending a big budget. His humor was a bright spot at ECM board meetings and his detailed building committee reports were legendary. We have missed Skeeeter's presence on the board since he retired from it, and now will will miss knowing that he was still present in this world. His love of northern New Mexico was also evident. RIP, dear friend.

I am very sorry to hear the news of Skeeter's death. Many condolences to Dee and the family.

Forest Link was the assistant pastor of Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Tacoma in the late 70s through the mid-80s, during a very dynamic period for that church, of which he was an important part. I was a young father, a deacon, and an elder in those times, and taught Junior High Sunday school under his tutelage. I have many warm memories of him, and had hoped I might see him again sometime on one of his visits to Tacoma, but it did not happen, alas....

I remember him as a man of strong faith and warm good humor. May his memory be eternal!

See you in the Resurrection, Skeeter!

His humor and focus on the needs of others were wonderful qualities. He leaves a legacy of strong and gentle faith .

Very sorry to hear of Skeeter's passing. My father and Skeeter were fairly close when my dad Rafael Sanchez was the pastor at ECM off the KU Campus and our family often attended services at FPC.

Condolences from the entire Sanchez family.

My sympathy to Dee and Ned. Faye
