Jan. 26 update: A memorial service for Forry is being planned for late February.
Jan. 25: Some sad news to report…Terry’s dad, Forry, passed away yesterday. I believe he was at his home in Salem, Oregon. Forry has lived through a somewhat stunning list of medical problems, and I kind of think we were all under the impression that he just must be immortal. Terry’s mom, Topsy, has been doing a tremendous amount of care for Forry over the last ten years. I believe the last time they came out to Wisconsin was for my wedding in 1999.
I’ve always considered Topsy and Forry another set of grandparents, and it really feels like a huge era is passing to know that Forry is gone.
I hope he is now freed from the confines of an aged body.
Terry is heading out to Oregon to be with his mom and his brother, Michael. I’d like to be able to join them, but there is no traveling when one is 38 weeks pregnant! I’ll post an obituary when one is available.
