Kevin T. Forde

Dear Clare,
I met you in Dublin last year during Trailblazers. I used to be on the Trailblazers’ committee with Kevin. I loved his company. Kevin was one of the most genuine people I ever met in the industry. We would often sit together at functions and have fantastic conversations. He was such a warm, kind and inviting person. He had this ability to always ask the right questions and he was a great speaker. His absence was very noticeable this year in Quebec City. We miss our Kevin.

Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. I got to know Kevin several years ago through his support of the SITE-SoCal Holiday Event and Charity Auction. He was instrumental in putting together a travel package to Switzerland that auctioned for top dollar and contributed much to the funds that we gave our three children's charities. I remember Kevin as being professional, enthusiastic, and fun to work with. We have placed a memorial tribute to Kevin on our website at...

As I told you in my previous email - our group of South Africa buddies will never be the same without Kevin. We are planning a celebration in his honor later in the summer. He made us better people and changed our lives forever on that trip. All our love and prayers are with you both.

Dear Clare:

I cannot tell you how sad I am...I adored Kevin. I have so many great memories of being with him at Trailblazers and going on site inspections. So many things will stick with me forever...like all of us standing on a cliff in Monaco together and drinking pink champagne and Kevin proclaiming "you know sometimes our jobs don't suck" - that kind of became our mantra because truly anytime you were with Kevin your job was a ton of fun.

Every time the phone rang, he...

Hello Clare-

There are no words. You are on our minds and in our hearts.

Getting to know Kevin through Trailblazers over the last 4 years has been special to me. He was a gentle, powerful person. He was so funny (he always laughed harder at his own jokes than mine). His timing was impeccable. His kindness, willingness to lend an ear or helpful hand was gratefully taken advantage of many times. I have fabulous memories from Trailblazers in Denmark, Monaco and Dublin, that still...

I am truly sorry for your loss and send my deepest sympathies to your family. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting and working with Kevin through his work with the Switzerland Tourism Board. He was the most kind spirited and fun colleague always with a smile and it was a pleasure knowing him.

Dear Clare and Genevieve,
Although I never had the pleasure of meeting you, as a colleague of Kevin's I wanted to express to you what a true gentleman he was and how much we will all miss him both personally and professionally. His warmth and enthusiasm for everything he did shone through, and it was truly enjoyable to spend time with him. He always made me smile! May the joy of his memory comfort you in this difficult time.

Dear Family of Kevin,
Your Kevin was a true gentleman and a joy to know. As a colleague in the incentive travel industry and SITE, Kevin was a respected professional and true friend. He always had a kind word and the ability to make me laugh whenever our paths would cross. I hope that you receive some comfort in your grief knowing what an honorable legacy Kevin leaves for us all. May God Bless.

Dear Clare and Genevieve,
My heart was heavy when I heard of Kevin's passing. I first met Kevin on a fam trip to Switzerland and was always so glad to meet with him at various industry events or when he would come into our office to visit. We often spoke of our Boston College pride, as we were both "Screaming Eagles"! I will always fondly remember Kevin's gentle spirit and his great NE accent. Please know that your entire family is in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
