Into the Sunset
We say goodbye to Members, Family, Friends and Associates.
Michael Gypsy Mick Forrest 23rd September 1925 – 29th January 2019
Dad loved his exciting and daredevil life. Told us all his stories right til the end.
Starting out on the Showgrounds in the forties, riding the Wall and then the Globe. Then built his own Globe of Death.
He travelled the country putting on Shows for all and loving it.
Then settled in Victoria for family, and did local events with the Globe.
Then as he aged, found fun in his chair o plane,
making kids smile and being involved in Show business.
I was so proud to be there helping dad in his later days He was always happy and telling yarns.
He will be so missed and loved by all family, friends and anyone who had the pleasure of a yarn with him.”
