Dearest Brook, Rayne and Nathaniel – Our family feels so very sorry for your loss, of your precious and loved, husband and father. Forrest always offered to help others. He had a calming effect on our sometimes cacophonous, scouting activities, all those years ago. We recollect his being the “cool dad”, as he rolled up to our meetings in the convertible, wearing his dapper cap, and many a time sporting a set of clubs in the back seat. Our family will pray for yours, to grow in love of the good memories and the benevolent legacy he has left in your hearts and minds, and for the peaceful repose of his soul.
With much love to you all, The Dannemiller Family

To Brook, not a day goes by I go to a golf course, hit off the first Tee box and look to the sky for my buddies approval. You and the kids are always in my heart and prayers 🙏
