Not sure what to say?

Not a day goes by that we don´t think about Tom. He was Deacon Danny´s best friend. God Bless you all.

Tom rest in peace with your love Shirley. Your family misses you. As we do also. Your Grankids are growing up quickly. Watch over them and Anna. Dolores & Tom.

Tom, I can't begin to say how much we all miss seeing your smiling face. You always came out out to greet the dogs and do our daily check in. We love and miss you always! Rhonda & Pups

My goodness Tom time just goes to quick. God bless you great kind man. You are with your love Shirley. You are missed by many. Rest in peace, Tom. Former neighbors "The Goraj's" From Slater Ave.

So often we think our lives small and perhaps insignificant but Mr. Fortier had a wonderful impact on many many people. This was a true mighty man of God. He was a great soul and I'm so happy to know he is with Jesus! He has his Sunday's forever now. ❤ May God bless his family and give you His peace during this time of loss. ❤

Tom was a once in a lifetime friend who is going to be missed so much. We enjoyed his outgoing personality, the jokes and his willingness to just listen and be there. Boy could he make us laugh. Tom loved his grandchildren TJ and Sophia so much and always had so much to say about them. He cherished the times he spent with them, Ania and Tom.
Tom is finally with the love of his life and his precious Muffin.
Rest In Peace Tom.
Deacon Danny and Cathy

Mr Fortier, was good and honest man.
I had the fortune of meeting him and his family while attending Cathedral High School with his son Tom.
While attending college my Finanancial situation was difficult until Mr Fortier assisted in helping me find a job.
Upon his referral I was hired at the Fairfield Mall. I worked there in security for 3 years and paid my tuition bill in full.
I could never repay Mr Fortier for his kindness, however I do believe he knew how I felt.

Tom was a dear friend from OLSH. He lived his faith and often said I wish every day was Sunday! He loved going to Saint DD’s! He spoke lovingly of his family and adored his grandchildren. I feel privileged to have been part of his OLSH family. May he rest in the arms of Jesus and celebrate this Easter in heaven with his beloved Shirley! We will miss you Tom!

Living on the West Coast, I rarely got the chance to see Uncle Tom but the last time I did, he was incredibly welcoming and kind. I introduced him to his great nieces Claire and Helen and he took them for ice cream at Friendly's. It was such a simple gesture but because of his genuine and incredibly kind nature that we felt in those few hours, it was a huge. We wish much love to Tommy, Bobby and their families.
