Forest "Duane" Forlow, age 75, of Celina, Ohio, passed away on Monday, April 8, 2019 at the Lima Memorial Hospital.
He was born on Nov. 4, 1943 in Celina, Ohio to the late Forest O. and Marcella (Strabel) Forlow. On March 2, 2002 he married Candy (Vannette) Shinkle, who survives in Celina.
Also surviving is his son and daughter-in-law Michael (Amy) Forlow of Celina, daughter and son-in-law Nicole (Ted) Dicke of St. Marys, step daughter Malina (Bill) Dysert of St. Marys, two grandsons, Bradyn, Dylan, his step grandson Alex and his sisters Lois Stein of Chicago, IL and Janet Kittle of Ft.

Duane came from a family that loved music. His father and uncles sang as a quartet and his mother played the Piano. This family tradition was carried on in Duane's life, as he was a member of the Sound Waves Barbershop Chorus.
