Always one who delighted in the use of words, Forest took great pride in representing Canada on the International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. A skilled sketch artist, sculptor, photographer, and user of his collection of fine tools, Forest made many props and models for his anatomy lectures, including a 20 times full size human larynx, sculpted from wood and complete with rubber tissues and muscles. He co-authored Anatomy of the Human Body, which has been printed in four languages. The text is heavily illustrated, and Forest took part in preparing the many dissections and in assisting with the artwork. He leaves four children and a small attic full of medical photographic prints, slides, film loops, and electron and x ray microscope pictures.
