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.
