Martin S. Forman

Martin S. Forman, 86, died peacefully on 6 April in Embracing Hospice in Cumming, GA. The cause of death was prostate cancer.

Martin was the second of three sons born in Brooklyn, New York to Samuel J. and Sadie Forman. He attended Bluefield College, and called in the draft to serve in WWII where he was made sergeant after being on the line for some time and was seriously wounded in The Battle of the Bulge. He was awarded the Purple Heart.

In 1951 at Miami, Florida he married Pauline Marks by whom he had two children, both of whom survive him, Lawrence (Rebecca Goldthwaite) of Dayton, OH and Longboat Key, Fl. and Susan (John Forbes) of Atlanta, GA.

Mr. Forman graduated from the University of Miami School of Law in 1952 and was a highly respected attorney in Miami for over fifty years. He had offices for much of that time on Bird Road. He retained a lifetime love of the law, a passion for reading, and he was an accomplished pen and ink artist, producing hundreds of op-art drawings.

The love of Mr. Formans life was family. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Pauline, of Canton, Ga. Other survivors include his younger brother, Gerald Forman (Phyllis), an attorney in Weston, Florida; two grandsons by his daughter Susan, James and Scott Forbes; and many nieces and nephews. His beloved older brother, Herbert, a pilot in the Army Force, was killed in action in WWII, shortly before D-Day.
