William D. Fors' Obituary
William “Bill” Donovan Fors 04/12/1960-06/04/2020. Bill, age, 60 passed unexpectedly at home. A lifelong Muskegon resident, he was son of Donovan C. Fors and Florence A. Patton (Fors, Gorski). Bill was a graduate of Muskegon High School class of 1978 and a dedicated Big Red fan. He married Linda L. Fors (Larabee) on June 25, 1982. They spent 38 wonderful loving years together. Above all, he enjoyed spending time with his soul mate, Linda. He would walk the beach searching for the perfect rock, driftwood, and or whatever else he may find to bring home and enjoyed the simplicity of life. His bonds with his family were especially important to him and he never missed a moment to be their number one supporter. He was a humble man who brought a welcoming presence. For those who knew him he was not a difficult man to spot in a crowd. He was the first one there to offer a helping hand no matter what the task. He could fix a stick if it was broken. Biking, motorcycling, cooking, and golfing (Last man Standing golf league) were some of his passions. Tinkering in the garage on a special project and using his creative mind to put his own twist and knowledge into his designs. Bill dedicated 38 plus years of employment at Busche Aluminum Tec. in Fruitport, where he was the Melt Manager. His work ethic and pride were very well known to many. He was looking forward to his retirement.
