Therese[Nellie]-so sorry about your dad..its been many years..would love to hear from you. Becky Stackhouse

Our condolences Maria to you and your family.  I am the daughter of Herman Harry Wolf, formerly of the Budd Company, Red Lion Plant.  You and Jack were our our wedding in 1979.  My parents thought so highly of both of you and we can still picture you at our home on Afton Street in Philadelphia after the wedding.  I remember how much fun you all had together.  My Mom passed away 11/11/02 at the age of 84 and Dad just this past Feb. at 90. Today  I just happened to come across a "10th Anniversary Jack Fortin" key fob from my parents with the date, Sat., May 4, 1985.  Coincidentally it was for the 111th Running of the Kentucky Derby.  It is coincidental as today is Kentucky Derby Day!  As a result of coming across this, I Goggled Jack's name.  I am sure that Jack was welcomed into heaven by so many and it has made it just that much more wonderful for my parents!  Again, we are saddened by your loss and hope you are comforted by the memories of your husband that we will always picture as being full of life!       Chris and Susie Klenk (Warminster, PA)

We have lost a great one.  Our love goes out to all the Fortin family.  If you listen closely you may be able to hear that "Good Old Mountain Music" from above now.  We are praying for strength, peace and comfort for everyone.
David & Barbara Brooker and family

Our thoughts and prayers are with all the Fortin family. Memories of Jack (too many to name) will live on in all our lives and make us smile. God Bless!

What can be said about Jack that everyone does not already know?    I have worked with him for years and the one thing I knew from the start of our relationship; that he's a proud man and a great friend.  We would sit and he would tell me story after story about his life. The end always had the same theme about Maria and the family and how great they were and how proud he was of them.   He was such a generous man and he did not realize how he made everyone feel so special.   It was such a pleasure that he allowed my family to get close to his.  I just want to thank both Maria and Jack for everything and to say how special they were to us.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family...As a daughter, a father is 
"THE FIRST MAN I EVER LOVED"......

You know Jack is a special guy when he joins your Dad throwing snowballs upon the roof to make us kids think Santa's reindeer were on the house. The only funny thing was Jack never hid in the bushes. All of us kids could see him through the windows. God Bless, Condolances to Maria and all of the kids. We love you guys,The Leahy kids!

Our condolences to the Fortins on the loss of Jack. Greg and Allison Boles and family.

Our prayers and condolences go out to the entire Fortin family at this time of sorrow. In sympathy, Joe and Miriam Cash and Family.

Your eyes sparkle in this picture Daddy, just like mine do every time I think of all the memories we've shared.  Thank you for taking such good care of me and for giving me the courage to never give up (even if it means spending all pre-season with me at UNH).  It still amazes me how you made all those games!  I will love you forever....until we meet again.
