VALE RORY FORREST 3/10/59 - 24/10/10

It was really sad to hear of the death of Rory yesterday (Sunday). He died in the presence of all his family and his funeral will be held on Thursday, 4th November at 1.30pm. (Rookwood) Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Forrests and we all feel the loss of such a wonderful human being.

Nicely written Stu and Marianne-it is indeed a sad time and the Geraldton Roffs extend their sympathy to all the Forrests. I think Rory's passing is the first of brothers-cousins generation.

I got the following text from Brad earlier today:
"Thursday week booked Rory's service for 1.30pm, South Chapel, Memorial Drive, Rookwood Cemetery. Notice going in next Monday's Sydney Morning Herald. Any guitarists, celloists, saxophonists, violinists, singers (especially of Paul Kelly songs)welcome. Spread the word for a big send-off for our Rory."
Lots of love to the Forrests.

Rory was always lots of fun. When we went to Dunbogan he was someone I always looked forward to seeing. When I broke my arm trying to jump over a tennis net, it was Rory, my doubles partner, who convinced me it was a good idea. It is really sad that he is gone.

Really sad to hear the new of Rory's passing. I so enjoyed the company of Rory and Vanessa at Dunbogan and his creative life and positive outlook were an inspiration to me and our Adelaide family. Lots of love to Betty, Niwilli and the Forrest clan.
