Harry was born on October 9, 1953, in El Dorado Springs, Missouri to Roy Stickley and Daisy “Mamoe” Fern (Pryor) Forrest. Harry retired after 31 years of service from General Motors in Kansas City, KS. On May 9, 1987, Harry was united in marriage to Cindy Marie Riley in Liberty, Missouri. He was a member of United Auto Workers (UAW) Local 31, and Cowtown T’s Car Club. Harry was a guy who always liked to give back, especially during hunting season, he would donate any harvested meat to Harvester’s food pantry. One of his last acts of giving back, Harry was an organ donor and was able to help those in need by saving lives. He was an avid Kansas City Chiefs fan, had a passion and thrill for NASCAR, and Harry enjoyed hunting. Spending time with family and friends and being a father and papa were the most important things in his life.
