Forrest was the owner of Armitage Denture Clinic (Stratford) from 1975 - 2010 before retiring. Forrest took immense pride in his lovely country property, whether working on the grass or playing on the property, he was in his glory. Photography, among many hobbies, was one he thoroughly enjoyed.
Frankie would like to personally thank the nurses from St. Elizabeth and the PSW’s from CCAC, your compassion and care that Forrest received was exceptional. And a special Thank you to Dr. Eric Thomas for allowing Forrest to pass away at home.
In keeping with Forrest’s wishes, a private family service will be held, and he will be laid to rest in Arva Cemetery with his late son Forrest Armitage II.
