Obituary

“Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage
where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift
sword; His truth is marching on. In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
with a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; as He died to make men holy, let us
die to make men free; while God is marching on.”
“Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.”

Joseph Andrew Forbes of Charlotte, North Carolina entered eternal rest on Tuesday, February 1,
2023 at Novant Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was the son of the late
Jessie W. Forbes and the late Helen H. Forbes and the husband of Gloria Jean Forbes.
Joseph was a United States Marine and served in the Vietnam War.
