John Henry "Jack" Forthman

Not only an outstanding instructor, but, a caring one, who took this student into his home for several days after my motorcycle accident. One of the very best instructors and human beings I met en route to my degree. I will never forget you, Jack. Hope to be your student again...some way, some how...

Life is not the same without you, Jack, but rest in peace knowing you are not forgotten.

Jack and I shared an office for 10 years at SAC. I taught Child Psychology and he taught Social Psych. Until Meagan came along, he thought children were little more than rug rats. She changed his life!! My love and prayers are with Bea and Meagan.

Jack was one of the most unique and wonderful individuals I have ever known. A legend in his own time! His delicious meals, his dry sense of humor, and his desire to please his guests will forever linger in my mind. My sincere condolences, Bea and Megan and may God comfort you in this sad and difficult time.

Jack will live on in our fond memories of him. He loved to cook and did many great meals for us. Thank you, Jack, for being you.

For all the wonderful meals you cooked for us, for all the memories and cognac shared, I will remember Jack.
