Forrest was a great pilot. Always concerned with safety and the welfare of the crew. Jack, my husband, and also a pilot with Frontier, and I, a flight attendant had a great time flying together. When we flew together it wasn't work it was just a great fun party with friends. When I think of Forrest I hear and see him laugh. His laugh was an experience to see and hear. He put his whole body into his laughter. I wish I could share what I see in my mind. It is pure joy!!!! I love that man!!! Forrest was such an amazing man. He had an amazing career as a Navy pilot, commercial pilot, farmer and most important of all a great family man. He loved Tonnie and his children dearly. We all miss him. You are forever in my heart.
