JAMES ALLAN FORREST

FORREST, JAMES ALLAN November 4, 1943 – January 5, 2019 With sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Jim at Sunnybrook Hospital. He is survived by his loving wife Linda and their sons Andrew (Erin) and Scott (Heather), grandchildren Kiefer, Finleigh, Declan, Emsley and Isla, his sister Joan Drummond (the late George) and his nieces, nephews and their families.

Jim was a longtime teacher with the Toronto School Board and a fine musician. He sang in many choirs and played clarinet with the Royal Regiment of Canada Band and the Encore Symphonic Band. Jim faced his illness with dignity, grace and courage. He was a wonderful, gentle man with a beautiful soul and we will miss him dearly.
