I just saw this, and though I am late, I thought I would leave a message. I caddied for Mr Forquer many times at the Az Country Club and also went to many high school football games with him where he was refereeing and I was a ballboy for the teams. After the games we would often stop at Mary Coyles Ice Cream for a treat. He was always kind and just a true gentleman and became kind of a father figure for a few years. I have many fond memories and wish his family the most sincere of condolences. God bless you Mr Forquer!
