I feel like it was just a little to early for you big guy, you was an extraordinary person. Big heart, and wasn't afraid to help as long as you worked. I'll never forget you from Stokeridge.

Dear Red & Family,
I am so very sorry to learn of Forrest's passing. He was a good man, cherished friend and a hard worker. 
I got to know him initially as a customer of his tree and lawn service business and we became close friends when we worked out together at the Rush Gym and then, Gold's Gym, in Greensboro for several years. We had many great conversations and interesting talks of an array of subjects and current events. I always looked forward to those times together.
May God bless him and all of the Chilton Family, now and forever.
Please know all of you are in my thoughts and prayers in this profound time of sorrow and loss.
Sincerely Yours,
Peter S. Griffin
