Al Forger and I (each with different employers) started working on the same stuff, oh, back in the early 1990's. All that continued until two or three years ago. Twenty years my senior, he was (it early-on became clear) infinitely wiser and better at what we did than I. Happily recognizing this, I began telling him then (and I repeated this to him at an in-person visit in January 2025) that, if I ever grew up, I wanted to be him. Whadda guy! Dear Al, may your deserving, wonderful soul...

Alex Forger was a true gentleman of the old school. I got to know him 10 years ago in his work for Bunny Mellon´s estate. We reached an oral agreement to buy some property and when a higher bid emerged, he refused to break his word. I enjoyed lunching with him at Essex House. A class act!

Alexander Forger possessed a majestic reputation as a lawyer and gentleman. He brought to every matter a commitment to excellence, quality, and ethics. For him there was no more important duty than serving the legal profession as a citizen lawyer, ensuring access to our system of justice and adequate legal assistance for the poor and those unable to afford such assistance.

Alex was a dear friend, neighbor, and colleague at the bar. He was a great leader of the profession and served as president of the New York State Bar Association. During my own tenure as president of the State Bar, I awarded Alex the Association´s gold medal - - our highest honor. He was a major source of wisdom and advice to me. As a Larchmont neighbor, he was a cherished friend - - as was his first wife, the late Nan Forger- - and community leader. He will be sorely missed.
