福雷斯特

John R. “Rick” Forrester,马里兰州罗克维尔的Forrester Construction Co. Inc.的创始人兼负责人于8月29日在未公开的弗吉尼亚州去世。死亡原因是头部的自我造成的枪伤，该州医学检查官的发言人证实了ENR。新利18备用福雷斯特是55岁。

该公司表示，他的追悼会定于10月10日（星期五）下午4:00在马里兰州贝塞斯达河路6301号的河路一神论普遍主义者会众举行。

The 200-employee building contractor is ranked at No. 319 on ENR’s Top 400 Contractors list, with $180 million in revenue last year. A firm spokeswoman declined to elaborate on Forrester’s death, but in a statement, the company said that it “will continue to service our current and future clients.”

According to a family-supplied obituary, Forrester earned a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from Georgia Tech and worked for a family owned firm, Scientific Systems Corp., before starting the construction company in 1988. The obituary says that his master's thesis on the newly-emerging area of self-adaptive building energy systems was cited for national recognition, but did not note by what organization.

福雷斯特的兄弟戴维（David）和斯科特（Scott）在推出后加入了私人股份的总承包商。大卫现在是首席执行官兼总裁，斯科特（Scott）是执行副总裁。该公司以前称为奥斯汀建筑公司，在2000年更名。

该公司现在在私营和公共部门市场中进行前建设，一般签约，建筑管理和设计建设。它于2013年完成了史密森尼自然历史博物馆的1800万美元，36,000平方英尺的翻新工程，目前正在阿灵顿国家公墓进行5900万美元的扩张，该公墓将于2016年完成。

ENR also recognized several projects on which Forrester was general contractor, including a 17,000-sq-ft replacement of the visitor's center at Ft. McHenry in Baltimore that used a geothermal heating and cooling system, among other innovations to achieve LEED Silver certification in 2011.

Forrester还是Leukeumia和Lymphoma Society的前董事会成员。

"Rick was always the go-to person when it came to dealing with Forrester Construction," says an online tribute writer. "He was the calm one [who] always listened to reason."

"Rick was a very warm and classy guy who went out of his way to be fair to his subs," says Jerry Strieter, president of Southern Insulation Inc., Hyattsville, Md., also in an online tribute, posted on Sept. 5.

但是福雷斯特一直受到法律问题的困扰。Last year, the firm agreed to pay $1 million to the D.C. government解决声称，它从事与少数企业企业联盟有关的城市合同的欺诈模式。

当时，它说，尽管指控是“没有根据的”，但它同意解决争端，以防止其成为公司和雇员的“分心”。

根据7月30日的美联社报告，联邦调查局和美国检察官正在进一步调查该公司。该公司没有进一步评论。
