Forsyth, Eric Leslie:

13.6.1942 - 27.6.2022 With much love and sadness, we farewell Eric who passed away peacefully after a long illness in the home he loved surrounded by his family 2 weeks after his 80th birthday. Dearly loved husband of the late Beverley, now at peace together. A much loved father of Alan, Neal and John Forsyth and Karyn Nally. Adored and much loved Granddad to his grandchildren. “Memories bring us closer, we are never far apart, You will never be forgotten, You are always in our hearts.” Special thanks to the Oncology team at Southland Hospital and the staff at Hospice Southland. A service to celebrate Eric’s life will be held in J Fraser and Sons Chapel, Cnr Esk and Doon Streets, Invercargill on Monday 4 July at 1.30pm. A private cremation to follow. Flowers respectfully declined, however donations to Hospice Southland would be appreciated and can be made at the service. Messages to 40 Millton Park Road, RD 1, Invercargill 9871

It was my honour and privilege to have known and worked closely with Eric at both the Invercargill City Council and the Invercargill Airport. His knowledge, professionalism, loyalty and sheer hard work were respected by everyone he knew and especially by me. I was very upset to hear of his passing while currently on holiday in London.
