Jerome Forte Obituary

Jerome (Jerry) A. Forte Sr., beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, passed away peacefully on February 18, 2017 in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Jerry served as a bombardier/navigator during World War II. He flew missions in a B 24 Liberator over Germany. After VE-Day he met Jean Macfie who would become his wife of almost 70 years. It was love at first sight; a love that would last a lifetime and produce six children, sixteen grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. Jerry loved his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ with all his heart and he is now resting in his Savior's arms.

A Mass is scheduled for 12:00 pm on Saturday, February 25th, at Divine Redeemer Catholic Church, followed by a reception. Interment will be at Evergreen Cemetery.
