CANADIAN LAKES -- Bruce Michael Forintos, 71, died unexpectedly at home in Canadian Lakes on Monday, Jan. 28, 2019.
Bruce was born in 1947 in Detroit to John and Elizabeth Forintos, and grew up in Lincoln Park. He graduated from Cardinal Mooney High School and Sacred Heart Major Seminary, earned his M.A. from the University of Detroit and his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. During his professional career, he held administrative positions at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, the University of Northern Iowa and Ferris State University.
He is survived by his wife, Mary Rose (Regan), whom he married in 1973; son, David Regan (Hayley); and grandchildren, Jaxx, Adalynn and Adrian.

Bruce enjoyed model-railroading, collecting antique fountain pens, fishing with his brothers, Brian and Brad, good scotch and smoking a pipe. He had a good sense of humor and was a deeply spiritual person.
