My sister and I are deeply saddened with Forrest's demise. He was a sincere man, deep into genealogy, a close friend of our dad, Jim Owens who passed March 7,2016. Forrest requested that he be awakened prior to our dad's demise. The Owens family will never forget Forrest's compassion.

We were so sorry to hear of Farrest's death. He was a true Sandrat who would help his neighbors at the drop of a hat. He treated all with respect. He shall be missed.
