May 14, 1957 ~ December 25, 2023
Born in:
Cos Cob, Connecticut
Resided in:
Hamden, Connecticut
George M. Forte, age 66, of Hamden passed away December 25, 2023 at Hartford Hospital. Born in Cos Cob, CT on May 14, 1957, he was a son of the late George D. Forte and Santa (DeCarlo) Forte. George is survived by his wife Patty P. (Latella) Forte: his daughter, Dana Acabbo of Westbrook; his son, Paul M. Forte of Hamden; his grandchildren, Caleb Norris, Cadance Acabbo, Coltan Acabbo and Cali-Lynn Acabbo; and his brothers and their wives, Angelo and Elaine Forte of Norwalk, Louie and Beth Forte of Norwalk, and Jimmy and Marilene Forte of Darien. George also leaves several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased this past May by his son, Wayne Bradbury, II. A resident of Hamden for over thirty years and the equipment manager at Pine Orchard Yacht & Country Club of Branford, CT, George relished in life surrounded by his loving wife and German Shepard. Every day was a celebration with music by the likes of Stevie Nicks, Madonna, and the Beatles. He was a die-hard fan of the New York Yankees and Dallas Cowboys. If you didn’t find George on a cruise, or enjoying his favorite libations, you may have found him at the golf course or in some really cool cars. A meticulous man, there was never a blade of grass that didn’t meet its match with George.

So sorry for your loss
So sorry for your loss Patty and family. George was a great person, and we were fortunate to have spent some time with him and you and experience his humor and kind and fun personality. I hope he is at peace and will shine down on you every day. RIP George. Diane and Helena
The best friend, brother and brother in law. Thank you George for everything you did for me and my family. Your the kindest, sweetest man I know. Thanks for letting me eat all of your dry sausage, it was damn tasty… Love you bro, see you on the other side.

Patty,
Marie and I were so very sad to hear of the passing of George and extend our sincerest sympathy and prayers to you and the family.
We enjoyed a great friendship and mutual respect for each other over the years and always appreciated the little things he did for us and others at POYCC to keep our gold carts functioning. He literally could fix anything and was a good man, and we tried to let him know that he was appreciated by us, he will be missed!
I was glad that I had the opportunity to speak with him when he came home from the surgery, he seemed to be in great spirits. His passing was truly a shock!
Know that our prayers are with you at this time and that we will always remember George in our hearts.

Dear Patty and Paul-
My deepest condolences to both of you. George was very special to me and I considered him a true friend. He will be sorely missed by me. We used to compare our dog issues almost every day in the summer.

Along with many members from the Pine Orchard Club, I will miss George. His positive attitude dealing with the many health issues he lived and fought through are a testament to not only his character, but to the love and support of his family. George was the kind of person you went out of your way to say hi to. A conversation with George was always refreshing and entertaining. I shall miss George, but never forget him.
I am so sorry for your loss and wish to extend my sincere condolences to you and your family. I’m so thankful that I got to know George over the last several years. I will always remember him with a cigar in hand as we sat around the fire pit with your brother Michael and Mabel sharing stories, laughing and listening to great music from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. He was just a wonderful guy and he will be missed. R.I.P. George.
I am so sorry Patty, you have been so much the last couple years. My heart hurts for you cuz. Even though we are far apart just letting you know you’re close in my heart. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love you always
Where do I even begin? There aren’t enough words to describe what an amazing soul George was. To know him was to love him and he always had enough love to go around. He was one of my husband’s best friends and he became family. The void we all feel will never truly heal without you here with us. Until we meet again. We will all raise a glass 🥃 and smoke a cigar in your honor.
I’m so sorry for your loss you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers
Love Seth and Barb
