On Friday, January 8, 2021 Thomas Dale Forrester, a loving husband and wonderful father of two, passed away at the age of 62. Tom was born on February 18, 1958 in Roswell, New Mexico to Elwin Arthur Forrester and Josephine Marie Forrester. Tom, growing up in an air force family, had a very adventurous childhood and lived many different places all around the world. He grew up and went into the Navy. In his late 20's he settled down in California. On June 14, 1986 he married the love of his life and best friend Alice Frances Forrester, and had two children, Christina Marie Forrester and Arthur Lee Forrester. In 1994, he moved to Nampa, Idaho where he resided until he passed. Tom loved to read and do crossword puzzles at which he was extremely good. He was known for his sense of humor and ability to make others laugh in every situation. He had an impact on everyone that had the opportunity to know him and was willing to serve and help wherever he could. He was ecstatic to be "papa" to his five grandchildren and loved spending as much time with them as possible. He was a diehard Denver Broncos fan and loved watching football with his family, as well as watching his son play football growing up and then his grandson more recently. He was preceded in death by his father Elwin; his mother Josephine; and brother Bill. He is survived by his wife Alice; daughter Christina; son Arthur; and grandchildren: Jaren, Ava, Khloe, Xander and Madelyn; and his brother Ken.
