He was 42. Forney was hired by Clackamas in September of 1979 after graduating from Oregon State University with a Bachelor of Sci ence degree in Advertising and Graphic Design. He had worked on a variety of publications at OSU while pursuing his degree. While at Clackamas, Forney had worked in a variety of positions, mostly in the publica tion and design fields, but he also taught art part-time, and was ac tive in the classified employees union. Forney held a position in the Oregon Association of Classi fied Employees union and also served as a director on the National Education Association Board, rep resenting classified employees. MelissaBanks,aresearch coordinator/planning analyst for the college, remembers the help that Forney gave her while being involved with the union. “Kevin was one of the, reasons that I became involved as much as I have in the classified association," she said. "He en couraged me from the start He was a national board director, rep resenting the classified personnel. He had a profound impact on poli cies enacted by the national asso ciation, and also had a big impact locally on the organization of clas sified unions. “But more than his work, Kevin was just such a great guy to work with and to be around,"Banks continued.

"Kevin is truly going to be missed.” “The thing that struck us the most around here is the incred ibly positive attitude about his ill ness,” Wilcox said. “He never got down about it He just made sure that he was doing the things that he wanted to do before he passed on." Fomey also was an avid gardener and he was a member of the Portland Gay Men’s Chorus for a few years.
