Not sure what to say?

My sincere condolences to the Forte family. Jack was like a brother to my father, Karl (Whit) Switzer and they shared countless adventures and athletic pursuits together. I know Dad treasured this lifelong friendship with `Uncle Jack´.

I caddied at Brae Burn Country Club in West Newton, MA for nine years. I was privileged to meet many fine people there, none fine than Jack Forte. Kindness, empathy and generosity are just some of the words that come to mind as I remember him. The warm smile and engaging personality were always there for everybody. All the caddies considered him to be the best "loop." May God bless Jack and all of the Forte Family.
