Gary R. Fortin Jr.

We are stunnned and shocked by the loss of Gary. Our sincere thoughts go out to his family and friends who were lucky enough to have Gary in their lives. We thank him for being the best man at our wedding and all the memories he has helped create for us. Had it not been for Gary we never would have met. We love you guy and miss you greatly.

I can't express how sorry I am about this horrific loss. I have known Gary since he was a baby, and have watched him grow up into a very accomplished pastry chief and very handsome young man. He looked so much like Kevin Bacon. He had a smile that could win anybody over. That is one of the things that I will miss the most, that beautiful smile.

Gary and I shared bond. Whenever at any family gathering, Gary and I always took at least 10 minutes to ourselves to update each other on our lives, progress, highs and lows, ups and downs. I wish I could have done something to help Gary, and will miss him. It will not seem the same at any Fortin/Jacobson type gathering without him there.
