Dr. Fore was my doctor for 35 years. He delivered my daughter 25 years ago. I have often talked to her about what a kind, caring and compassionate man he was. My heart broke as I read his letter back in April, and I have thought and prayed for him often since then. I was totally heartbroken to learn recently of his passing. I can't imagine going to another doctor besides him. No one can ever fill his shoes. My prayers go out to the family and just know how much Dr. Fore was loved.

Dr. Fore was my doctor during a time at which I was struggling with trying to get pregnant and he was just the most positive, informative, sensitive and reassuring man. I am deeply saddened to learn of his passing and wanted to publicly thank him for being arms of comfort and support in times of hopelessness. I sincerely send all my love and prayers to his loved ones. He was an amazing doctor and an amazing man.

I had my first visit to Dr. Mezer December 7. It was such an emotional time for me and I was nervous about seeing a new doctor. I held it together until I sat in the waiting area across from Dr. Fore's office. I can't describe the sadness I felt as I sat and wept. Seeing his empty office for the first time was more than I could take. Dr. Mezer can not replace Dr. Fore but I am very happy I decided to go to him. I think Dr. Fore would have wanted me to.

I will pray for the family during this holiday season.

I did not know Dr. Fore, but saw a small poster pinned up recently at my doctors office with his picture regarding an upcoming blood drive in his memory. Anyways, I was very drawn to it because my dad at age 71 passed in June 2007 with pancreatic cancer. I am very sorry to hear about your loss and will keep the Fore family in my thoughts and prayers.

I just learned of Dr. Fore's passing this weekend. I too cried when I got his letter. I had just been to see him within the last month so it was very shocking to get the news. I sent him pictures of my children he delivered that are now 24 and 27. How proud I was that he brought my children into the world. I have read all the entires and what a great tribute to a great man. I was a patient for 27+ years and he was always the same- kind, caring and made you feel like he had all the time in the world for you. He had many great accomplishments, what a legacy to leave. My prayers to the family and all those who knew him, how he will be missed.

I live in Kernersville and do not get the Greensboro paper, so I did not find out about Dr. Fore's passing until yesterday, so I apologize for the dealy in sending condolences to his family. Dr. Fore was my doctor since June 1976 - more than 33 years. I feel like I have lost a friend as well as a trusted professional. After about 20 years I told him we had been through too much for me to still call him "Dr. Fore". He laughed his quiet little chuckle and said "then call me Steven" and I did from that day forward. However, I always referred to him as "Dr. Fore" when talking to anyone else to underscore the professional respect to which he was so clearly entitled.
He was a fine man and a caring, compassionate and exceptionally talented physician. I never had children, but he treated me and helped me through a number of crises and scares as well as being rock steady for the routine annual exams. I will never forget his kindness. I can hardly believe he is gone and I can't imagine anyone else treating me - someone has VERY large shoes to fill.
Even though this note is being sent more than two months after his death, I hope it will be a testament to his family many people are and will be broken hearted when we learn of his passing and that, like the family, will miss him forever. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was a victim of domestic violence and was rushed to the hospital and had never before seen Dr. Fore. I was 6 months pregnant and about to lose my child. Dr. Fore saw me and saved my child. I knew then I wanted him as my doctor. My son is now 31 years old and I am always reminded how lucky I am to have him, and I have always been so thankful to Dr. Fore. I feel so lost now. He was such a wonderful, caring person, and so few ever exist.

I have already signed the guest book once but wanted to add that to this day, it is still so hard to believe that Dr. Fore passed away. He is a very special doctor to me b/c he helped my husband and I have our 1st and only child after 6 very long years of trying. I miss you Dr. Fore. And it is hard to imagine going to that office and not seeing you. I too knew when I received that letter that I would probably never see you again which broke my heart. I just wanted to see you one last time to thank you and hug you and tell you how much I appreciate your gentle kindness and caring way. And to tell you I love you. I know that a wonderful soul has been added to heaven. You will always be loved and missed Dr. Fore.

To the Family of Dr. Fore,

I was a patient of Dr. Fore for 22 years. I can remember this well because Dr. Fore delivered our only child on October 31, 1986. When I received his patient letter to let all of us know that he was sick and was retiring, I could not believe it. Dr. Fore gave me wonderful medical treatment all of those years and I can only respect and appreciate his compassion for his patients along with practicing modern medicine. Dr. Fore was a gentleman and a scholar and true to his profession. I prayed so hard for his recovery and I truly believed that he was going to make it. But today, 9/14, my physician that took Dr. Fore's place told me that he passed away three weeks ago. I was so sad to hear this and I cannot imagine you his family the pain you are going through in losing him. I will pray for each of you that God will put his loving comforting arms around you and he will keep Dr. Fore's memory alive in your hearts. Dr. Fore was a great doctor one of the best in modern medicine. My family and I will fondly remember him always

To the Family of Dr. Fore,

I was a patient of Dr. Fore's for 8+ years. I just found out about his death. My prayers and sympathy go out to you. Dr. Fore was the kindest, most caring Doctor I have ever had. I am so very glad he is at peace and not in pain.

To The Family of Dr. Fore:

My heart hurts. I can't even imagine how you must feel. Our Sunday
school lesson was about "Preserving Integrity". Proverbs 22:1 A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than
silver or gold. What a legacy Dr. Fore
has left behind!
I, like everyone else, has a story. I met Dr. Fore in 1982. He delivered my son (almost) 27 years ago.
Over the years he helped me through some difficult times which I will never
forget.
He was always so kind and gentle, and always had all the time in the world for you. He truly was a genuine Doctor.
May God give you strength and peace in knowing your loved one is no
longer sick or suffering.
I loved him also, and he will be
greatly missed.

Dr. Fore was my Doctor for 31 years. I have never had another Doctor who cared about me and showed the compassion and the expertise that was the epitome of Dr. Fore . I can only thank his family for sharing him with all of his patients all of these years and to tell you he will be missed greatly. What a loss of a wonderful human being but what a pleasure to have shared a small part of his life. I have never seen a M&M when he did not come to my mind! Sharon Swift ((Greensboro, NC)

My heart goes out to Dr. Fore's family. He was such a wonderful doctor! I referred several family members, friends and co-workers to him that also live in Virginia. I will miss him so much. He was a sweet, caring, gentle and understanding man. I am so greatful that he got me through some of the most difficult years of my life. He was a blessing to all of us and I thank God for him.

To the family of Dr. Steven R. Fore, I want to extend my deepest care and concern to all of you as you mourn the loss, but celebrate the life of this wonderful and remarkable caring and compassionate man. Not only was Dr. Fore my doctor, I was one of his sales representatives for more than 20 years. He always made time for me whether as a patient or as a sales person. And even when he had to perform surgery on me, I never forced the issue of using my products, I just wanted him to be comfortable and render the best care for me as his patient. He always did what was best for his patients. I will truly miss him, and will always remember his gentle demeanor, his sincere compassion for his patients, and his tremendous love and passion for his family and the great outdoors.
May God continue to watch over your soul, Dr. Fore.

August 23, 2009

I had the privilege of having Dr. Fore for my doctor for 30 years. After being in labor for 33 1/2 hours, Dr. Fore delivered my firstborn. There was some problems with his breathing and he was rushed out into the awaiting arms of other doctors and nurses. Dr. Fore never let me see any fear in his eyes as I looked to him for reassurance. After about 8 minutes they brought him in for us to see that he was still alive and then took him away again. I don't know if I could have made it through without Dr. Fore. Two years later when I got pregnant again I asked Dr. Fore to deliver my next child. He said we would see. I told him I wouldn't have it unless he delivered it. He laughed and said that he would like to see that one. He did deliver her! When I started having problems again he told me everything would be o.k. and it was. I am grateful for the care that he provided me over the years. Your family will be in our prayers.

Dr. Fore was my Dr. for over 20 years. He was a kind, compassionate and caring man. The level of care and concern he showed his patients is a rare thing among Dr.s. He will be missed greatly.

Dr Fore was my doctor for many years. He always went out of his way to preserve his patients dignity and make them feel at ease. When he had to do surgery on me he would call to make sure I was recovering well. He was a fine doctor and man. I had my check up just a week before he sent his letter out. I wept as I read every word that he personally wrote and signed to each of his patients. He will be greatly missed. I am praying for each of you as you begin to grieve his loss. May God shine His love and favor down upon you.

To all of Steven's patients:
I would like to express my sincere thanks for the hundreds of cards that you sent to Steven since his diagnosis in April. Your words of appreciation, encouragement, and support provided Steven and me with a great deal of comfort and peace. He enjoyed receiving the photos that were sent to him of the many babies he delivered. Steven truly considered it an honor and a privilege that you entrusted him with your healthcare over the past 33 years. I know Steven would want me to remind you of the "vitamin list." :)

Gratefully,
Mitzi Fore

To the Fore Family:

My prayers and heartfelt sympathy go to you at this time. Dr. Steven Fore was my doctor, too. He was compassionate and he always gave me the latest information on how to take care of myself. When I moved to Virginia, I looked for a Dr. Steven Fore but could not find one. So I traveled to Greensboro to my gynecologist, Dr. Steven Fore for my appointments. Many people have been blessed by Dr. Fore and I hope our memories will be of comfort to you.

God Bless You.

Dr Fore was the most caring and compassionate doctor I have ever had. He delivered my daughter over 20 years ago and has been my doctor ever since. I never hated going to see him. He operated on me several times and was always there if I needed just to talk. He's M&M collection always made me smile, because like him, my brother and my husband both collect M&M collectibles. I will NEVER forget him and will always have a warm place in my heart for him. Nobody will ever be able to replace him. The Medical community as well as his patients have lost a wonderful, wonderful man. To his family, my deepest sympathy and the fact that so many people loved and cared about him help you through this difficult time.

Michelle Long

I was a patient of Dr. Fore's for almost 20 years. He was the kindest, most caring doctor I've ever known. Dr. Fore certainly received a calling from God to be in the profession he chose. He was an amazing doctor and a wonderful friend. I credit Dr. Fore with saving my life when he got me through cancer, and helping my husband and me have the most wonderful blessing in our lives - our son. Anytime I saw Dr. Fore, he was the same. If he ever had a bad day, his patients never saw it. Those of us whose lives he touched are so blessed to have known him. My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with his family. He is and will continue to be missed so much!

To the family of Doctor Steven Fore, I was a patient of Doctor Fore's for 13 years. My thought and prayers are with his family. When I last saw Doctor Fore I could tell that something was wrong, but I never expected this. I thank God that He allowed me to find such a wonderful doctor as Doctor Fore. Not only was he my doctor he was my friend. The world has lost a very caring and compassionate doctor, and no one will ever be able to fill his shoes. May God always bless and keep his family.

Nicki Chinn

I worked with Dr. Fore at the hospital and was always impressed with how respectful and polite he was with all of his patients, as well as the staff. Working with him in the OR was a treat; he was a very good surgeon. When my own daughter needed medical attention for a problem that other physicians had missed, I did not hesitate to send her to Dr. Fore, who diagnosed and treated her with great success. I remember him as a very, very nice person with a great sense of humor. He will be missed.

To the family of Dr. Fore:
I have been a patient of Dr. Fore for around 15 years and he was the most passionate and caring doctor i have ever had. I never felt nerveous around him for he was so gentle and he always explain what he was doing in a matter that kept you from being nerveous. god has a special place in heaven for doctors like Dr. Fore and he will always be miss, but look up for one day we will all get to see Dr. Fore when the time comes. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. may God keep you all in his loving arms.

Dr. Fore was THE BEST. He was like the description of Love in Corinthians....patient & kind...!! His gentleness was one of his many gifts. He was my doctor for many, many years and certainly left his mark on my heart. I pray that God will hold his family in the palm of His hands during this difficult time. He will be greatly missed!!

I last saw Dr. Fore in March of 2009. As always he walked into the room wearing a smile filled with kindness. You always knew what his demeanor would be. He just had a way of making you feel comfortable and making you feel like you were his most important patient. I bagan seeing Dr. Fore in 1976. He was not my primary Doctor at the time. I was expecting my first child and saw him during my rotation visits. Dr. Fore was on call the night I went into labor. He delivered my first child. A special bond between a new mother and her doctor took place. I remember calling the office for my six week check up and requested that Dr. Fore become my primary doctor. Two years later I was expecting again. I knew there was a chance that another Doctor would be on call. I told Dr. Fore only he would deliver my baby. He would smile and say we'll see. At 3 am in the morning I went into labor. I called and found that Dr. Fore was not on call. I politely asked when will Dr. Fore be on call. The reply was 8am. I told my husband we'll arrive at the hospital when Dr. Fore comes on duty. I was so blessed to have Dr. Fore deliver my second child and to have him as my doctor. Each visit he would allow me the time to share with him how my girls were doing. He would always said yes our children are special. During my last visit I was able to share with him the joy of being a grandmother. With the biggest smile I've ever seen on his face he responded too that being a grandparent brought him so much joy. When the letter arrived I knew in my heart that I would never see Dr. Fore again. I know that he touched so many lives because he had a special gift from God. I will always remember Dr. Fore and be thankful for the 33 years he cared for me. To his family I'm so sorry for your loss. May God be with you during this time. He will truly be missed.

I am sad to hear about my sweet Dr. Fore. He was so gentle and never made me feel uncomfortable. I too, loved the M&M's. He really knew a woman's heart as well as being an excellent surgeon. He healed me in many ways. I would like to return my healing to your healing of broken hearts to the family and friends. He is irreplaceable.

May you find peace and comfort through his love and honor.

Maria Griffin-Raines

August 18, 2009

Words can not even begin to express how saddened I am by the loss of Dr. Fore. He was more than a Doctor to me over the last 14 years, he was a friend and a role model. Besides being the only Doctor I have EVER had pronounce my name correctly (Mariah, all though spelled like Maria), he was the most kind, gentle, compassionate physician I have ever had the pleasure of calling my Doctor. I referred everyone I knew to him who needed a Doctor, and all of them have said how much more he meant to them than just being a Doctor... I am sure anyone who was ever his patient knows what I mean. To him, you were more than just a patient, he kept up with what was going on in your life, the lives, of you family and anything that you ever told him never left his memory. That kind of personal care is so hard to come by in this day and age.

To his family, I know the loss you are experiencing is far greater than the loss of all of us, his patients. Take comfort, as I will, in knowing he is in a better place and will feel no more pain. Greensboro has experienced the loss of a wonderful person and I know I can speak for everyone of his patients when I say, he will be missed and loved always by everyone his kind words and gentle nature ever touched.

Dr. Fore was everything a Doctor should be....caring, kind, smart.....and he truly listened. My thoughts are with his family as I know they've lost an incredible husband and father.

LaDora Kirkman

August 18, 2009

When I received his letter in May I said to my Husband before I opened it--
I sure hope this doesn't say Dr. Fore
is retiring! When I started reading I started weeping and praying at the same time. Dr. Fore and ALL of the family have been in my prayers on a daily basis since I received the elegantly written letter. The letter was a piece of his heart and anyone who knew Dr. Fore could read and feel it. I had the honor of being one of his many patients for the last 15 years. My Pastor's wife recommended him to me when I wanted to change Gyn's. When I met him for the 1st time I couldn't believe it. He was the most wonderful, warm, caring, compassionate Doctor I had EVER met. I could go on and on but I would just be repeating a lot of what his patients have already said. I prayed for his healing to be here on earth but God must have needed him more in Heaven. He will truly be missed by the Greensboro community, the other Doctor's he worked with, his patient's, employees and mostly I am sure by his family.
Know he loved you ALL and spoke of you any chance he got.
The following is something I found that I wanted to send to ALL of the Fore family.

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day.
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

August 18, 2009

Dearest Mitzi, Kim, Eddie and Mason: I am weeping as I read these wonderful tributes to the wonderful doctor, husband and father Steven was.

Dear Fore family:
I was a patient of Dr. Fore's for 12 yrs. and my visits to him were always a pleasure. He had such gentleness and a kind nature. My chats with him of very personal problems were always turned into a giggle session when facing all those little M&M people on his desk!

I am so very sorry for your loss. I know he must have been a wonderful husband, father and brother and that he will be sadly missed.

I, too, had the good fortune of being in Dr. Fore's care for many years. I speak from the heart when I say the Greensboro medical community, as well as the community at large, has certainly lost one of its shining stars.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Fore family. May the grief you feel in your hearts soon be replaced by the peace of knowing that all he gave you will live within you forever.

Dr. Fore was my Gynecologist for many years. He performed my hysterectomy some years ago and I was the patient with the 4 plus intebation and my surgery was nearly canceled since it took so long to put me to sleep. A kinder, compassionate docter would be difficult to find and I am so glad I found Dr. Fore.

I am an employee of MCHS working in the lab at Stoney Creek Cancer Center and it was a shock to me when I heard of his pancreatic cancer. My dad died of it also, and cancer is one of the worse diseases known to mankind.

I will hold the memory of Dr. Fore in my heart and send my sincere sympathies.

I FIRST MET DR.FORE WHILE GOING TO DR.'S ABRAHAMS/GOTTSEGEN AND TOLD THEM I DID NOT WANT DR.FORE TO DELIVER MY BABY-ONLY BECAUSE HE WAS A TAN BLONDE JOCK, AND MY AGE..NATURALLY WHEN IT CAME TIME FOR BABY, WHO WAS ON CALL-DR.FORE..WE ALL HAD A GOOD LAUGH BUT AT THE END, DR.FORE WAS MORE THAN A DOCTOR HE BECAME A FRIEND. THERE WAS'NT ANY THING TO SMALL TO TALK OVER AND ALWAYS WORDS OF ENCOURAGMENT...
WHEN HE STARTED HIS PRACTICE MY DAUGHTERS WENT TO HIM AND OVER THE YEARS MY HUSBAND WOULD DO WORK FOR HIM AT HIS HOME, KEEPING ME INTOUCH. WHEN I HEARD OF HIS ILLNESS AND NOW OF HIS PASSING, THERE IS ONE GREAT LOSS OF WHAT DOCTORS SHOULD BE, AND ALSO OF A TRUE FRIEND. MAY YOUR MEMORIES BRING YOU CONFORT.

Dr. Fore was my doctor for many years, and a good man. He helped me with my daughter when she was expecting her first son, she lived in Winston. It was a difficult pregancy and he would always talk to me and reassure me.
He was a wonderful physician and he will be missed so very much

Greensboro lost a wonderful doctor when Dr. Fore had to walk away from his practice. He was by far the most compassionate Doctor I have ever seen and had a calming, caring way about him. He delivered my first child and she went to him in her adulthood. He was my doctor for many years and also my mother's and both of my sisters. We all thought so much of him. He will truly be missed and our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and family for their lost.

I was a pt of Dr. Fore's for 35 years and he delieverd both of my sons.We even named my youngest son after Steven. My husband and I have always had a very special place in our hearts for Dr Fore and always will. We will miss him everyday. We will keep the family in our prayers.

August 18, 2009

I was a patient of Dr. Fore's only for a short time. I had never seen kindness and compassion from a doctor as he had shown me. My mother and aunts have been his patients through out the years and have had nothing but wonderful things to say about him. He took very good care of us. He will be missed. God Bless your family in this time of loss.

I had the privilege of knowing Steve since he moved to Greensboro in the 1970's and was always impressed by his quite dignity and composure under any medical emergency. His patients were always drawn to his reassuring gentle style and already greatly miss him and his excellent care. Although he is missed by his family and friends greatly I am happy that he is no longer suffering. He will be always be remembered.

Mitzi, I'm so sorry for you and your family for the loss of Dr. Fore. I know I will miss him with all my heart and I don't know who will take care of me like Dr. Fore did. GOD has an Angel with Him now and I know I will see Dr. Fore again. God Bless You and your family during this time.
