So sorry to hear about Bob’s passing. He was one of my first bosses at LSS and was a good friend for over 25 years. He and I traveled to Nevada together on a couple of occasions and we always had a good time around each other. He was a one of kind character. I’ll never forget him and he’ll be sorely missed by many of us.
With Deepest Sympathy
Yet another Forrest gone. My deepest sympathies to the entire Forrrest family. Just recently attended the funeral for my step-sister Robbie Nell Forrest Bell. She and her mother, Eunice Tigert Forrest Betts (my step-mother) were very wonderful to me and I have a great deal of respect for the Forrest “clan”. May God bless and keep the family.
Eric and Callie we will pray for your family during this time of loss of your loved one. Love in Christ, Mom and Dad.
So Sorry to hear about Mr. Forrest passing. He was a Great boss and a Great Friend to me when I worked at LSS. and also after I left LSS. The other workers use to call me the Boss Pet. May you find comfort and stength in Jesus in your time of sorrow. God Bless the Family of Bob Forrest. SincerelyCharles Betts Jr.
To Margaret and all the Forrest family, I am so sorry to hear about Bobby’s passing. All of you were so sweet to us when we lost Robbie; I wish I could be there for all of you. The Forrest family “adopted” my dad, my brother and me, and I have always thought of all of you as family.
