In Memoriam of Erwin P. "Luke" Forrest
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of a legend in Monmouth County Bowling.
You may have known him just as "Luke", but he always made his presence felt.
"Luke" was a husband, a father, a grandfather and a great grandfather.
He was an engineer that worked on Defense Department projects (shhh, his name is on a satellite that orbits the earth).
You may have known "Luke" for his reporting of all things bowling, from the 1950's on "Luke" reported on bowling events, serious, funny, sad and record setting events for the Long Branch Daily Record, the Red Bank Register and the Asbury Park Press.
"Luke's" accomplishments are so numerous that we cannot possibly list them all here so we are including a link to his obituary here.
"Luke" we thank you for everything you did for Monmouth County and the game we all love so much. And we thank "Luke's" family for sharing him with us.
It seems appropriate that we can look up in the sky and know that some small part of him is there looking down on us. Rest in peace "Luke".
