About 150 people filled the Blue River Evangelical Free Church on Saturday, April 3, (1999) to pay tribute to the memory of Don Forsyth.
Don had been a resident of Blue River for over 20 years. Born on October 31, 1944, he lost a gallant battle with cancer on March 27, (1999). Candies, bouquets of daffodils and pussy willows, and a collection of photos of Don and his family and friends during the various stages of his life provided the setting for a celebration of his life.
Pastor Marvin Penner conducted the service. The eulogy was given by John Beaton and Kathy Chambers and Mary Ann Hardwick played the organ and piano respectively.
A highways employee for many years, Don was also a very active member of our local Parks and Recreation Board. He loved Blue River's scenery and enjoyed the outdoor life, skiing, snowmobiling, hiking or swimming as the season allowed.
His farm brought him much pleasure, and his daughter Jennifer was his pride and joy. Don is and will continue to be very much missed in our community.
