Richard Arthur Forrer
A devoted family man to his wife and six kids, his 17 grandchildren, four great grandchildren, 10 nieces and nephews, nine great-grand-nieces and nephews and all his extended friends and family.
Born Sept. 24, 1928, Dick was a graduate of Whitefish Bay H. S. and the University of Wisconsin. He was also a veteran, serving in the Army during the Korean War. After returning to Milwaukee, Dick went into the family business with his brother Fritz. The brothers successfully ran the Spray-O-Bond Company for decades and started Forrer Chemical Company together.
Kay and Dick retired to Scottsdale, Ariz.; Vero Beach, Fla.; and always Trout Lake in Boulder Junction.
Dad was happiest running the chainsaw, working in the wood shop at Idlewild with his friend Bill “Buzzy” Miller, or zipping around the lake on his jet-ski. He was in constant motion and never put off until tomorrow what he could do today. A private celebration will be held on Trout Lake in the Summer of 2021.
We would like to thank Amanda and the other wonderful nurses from Ascension at Home hospice for their support and care.
