You will be missed. You lived a blessed life and you and Helen raised beautiful children. My kids still remember going to Mr. Forrey's and Mrs. Helen's where there alwayswas a treat for all the neighborhood kids.

I am very sorry to hear about this Vickie and Joe. Thinking of you and your family .
So many precious memories of this wonderful man. Helen & Forrie along with my parents, Stella & Dick always laughing & enjoying life. One of the best ice skating rinks in Muskegon between our houses, and now I know there is one in heaven for everyone to enjoy. My thoughts and love to the VanderLaan family.
I enjoyed my back fence conversations with Forrest when I live there. And Krista and Jeff carried on when I left. Rest in peace my friend.
Such a loving, genuine soul. You will be forever missed. There will never be another who can fill your shoes as the “neighborhood grandpa” quite like you. I’m so glad I have such fond memories of growing up as a child with you. Until we meet again. ❤️
