Dear Forte family and all who knew him, My heart broke in two when I heard the news of his passing. I was in the Eastman Dental Center dental assisting program in 1982 when he was there as a resident. I immediately was drawn to his warm smile and friendly demeanor. I loved assisting him and he taught me so much. We dated each other for 2 years and had so much fun together.I last saw him 8 years ago at a seminar and was so grateful to have seen him and get caught up with our lives. So proud of all he had accomplished in his life, he was a true artist, the beautiful dental work he did for me is a reminder of his craft. Gives me great peace to read these other comments and know that he was surrounded by such loving family, co-workers, friends and neighbors. He will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love, Marcal
