College mourns loss of staff members
by Frank Jordan
Staff Writer
Kevin Forney, a graphics
designer with the College Publica
tions Department, died Sept. 24
afterathree-year battle with AIDS.
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. "Healwayshadasense
of humor, always very upbeat —
just an all-around nice guy.”
TwoofFomey’sco-work-
ers in College Publications, Lisa
Wilcox andLendaBlack,reflected
on the impact that Fomey had on
their work and their lives.
“Our office had a very
close relationship, not only at work,
but off-work as well," Black com
mented. "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. He won a award
last spring from the Oregon Edu
cation Association for production
of thè local newsletter for
Clackamas Community College
staff.
Fomey asked thatanydo-
nations be made to the CCC
Foundation’s Kevin Fomey Me
morial Fund, which will provide
scholarship assistance to classi
fied staff seeking a college degree.
