OBITUARY
William E. Forst
17 October, 1945 – 11 January, 2021
William Forst, 75, a lifelong Loudon resident passed away on January 11, 2021 after suffering a medical emergency. Bill loved spending time with family and friends and always had a joke to share when meeting new people.
Known as “Wild Bill” he loved teaching and competing in Country Western dancing. He found fulfillment in bringing new life to old objects, and he never saw things as disposable which led to his love of flea markets. Bill saw the value in everyone and everything around him. He took pride in his mechanical engineering degree and in having been a member of Mensa.
Bill leaves behind many wonderful friends including Ed with whom he shared many cups of coffee. He was a man with very strong opinions and a big heart to go with them.
Members of his family include his brother, Kenneth Forst; cousins, Richard Melvin and Winnifred Laime; what he referred to as his greatest accomplishments, his four daughters, Heather and her husband, Scott Hoffacker, Darlene Forst, Johanna Forst and her fiancé, John Hamilton and Evelyn and her husband, Aaron Allen; seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Bill was predeceased by his parents, John and Ruth (Melvin) Forst and sister, Pauline Forst.
