Forshee of Woodland died Aug. 12, 2004, at Stollwood Convalescent Hospital in Woodland. He was 86. He was born in Okmulgee, Okla. on Aug. 24, 1918. During World War II, he served in the U.S. Navy in the South Pacific as an electrician's mate on PC 603 and LST 124. He always considered himself lucky to have been under fire only once. After naval service, he was employed by Lockheed Aircraft Company for more than 40 years, mostly overseas. In Japan, Germany, France, Jordan, Iran, Pakistan, Italy, Greece and Iceland, he led field service teams supporting Lockheed aircraft flown by U.S. military forces and allies . He took advantage of these foreign postings to visit 30 countries. After retirement, he divided his time between traveling, his home in Las Vegas and his sister's home in Davis. His special interests were woodworking and photography. He moved to Davis in 2001 to be closer to family. He leaves his sister Olline Peterson, nephew Michael R. Peterson, niece Alice Peterson, and grandniece Anne Peterson, all of Davis; and sister Corrine Forshee of Los Angeles. His family wishes to give special thanks to Dr. Bill Zepf, Dr. Tom Blumenfeld, and the entire staff at St. John's Retirement Village and Stollwood Convalescent Hospital. A private memorial service for family and friends is planned at the Chapel at St. John's. Additional Comments: Submitted with the permission of the "The Davis Enterprise."
