Joseph Forlenza

Obituary of Joseph V. Forlenza

Joe Forlenza was a force of nature. Sometimes he would run through your life like a Tasmanian devil, at other times he would lose himself in the joys he found in life: fishing, body surfing in the Atlantic Ocean, drinking Rob Roys and having a good run on a hot table in Las Vegas.

Not one to suffer fools easily, he was a man of insight and action. Pity the person who came out on the wrong side of his judgment. But this driven, strong-willed, intelligent man was also extremely generous with his money and knowledge.

His clear perception was often sought after in matters of business, finance and where to get the best meal in town. His drive, discipline and devotion to his vision took him from his humble beginnings to many great achievements and accomplishments.

He also grew in spirit, which he deepened into when he transformed into a loving and caring husband to our mom Fran. As ever, allowing his situation to transform him into what he needed to be.

What we will most miss about him is his ability to see the world with clarity and live his life in accordance with what he saw.

We love him and we will miss him dearly.
