Forster played the father of Tim Allen's Mike, appearing as the owner of a medical marijuana dispensary. Despite Forster's absence on the Fox version of Last Man Standing, his marijuana store will still be a part of the show.

Why are they doing this? I loved Mike's dad and with him being gone, both of Mike's parents are gone.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. Will we ever see Vanessa's parents? So far, we have only seen her annoying and obnoxious sister, April.
