Dennis “Denny” Forquer, 83, of Mt. Jewett—and formerly of Kushequa—passed away peacefully on Thursday, December 4, surrounded by love and care at Sena-Kean Manor. Born March 29, 1942 in Bradford to Lester and Florence (Transue) Forquer, Denny grew into a man celebrated for his patience, kindness, quiet strength.

On December 23, 1961, he married the love of his life, Linda (Blair) Forquer, in Kushequa. Their marriage was a true and enduring partnership—marked by devotion, resilience, and the kind of humor shared only by two people who have spent a lifetime loving one another.

Denny spent more than 40 years working as a supervisor at Corning and later at Bradford Electronics, and continued his steadfast work ethic in maintenance and as a fire watch at ARG. He earned respect not by demanding it, but by showing up every day with reliability, humility, and heart.

A lifetime member of the Masons and the Orak Grotto of Bradford, as well as the Mt. Jewett Sportsman’s Club and the Sons of the American Legion, Denny cherished the friendships and camaraderie these groups brought into his life.

Before his health declined, Denny found joy in hunting, fishing, and shooting sporting clays. He loved the simple pleasures of time outdoors—and the even simpler pleasure of a cold Genny, a trademark part of who he was. But above all, nothing meant more to him than his family. To his grandchildren, he was “Papa Denny”—a warm, loving presence who offered patient guidance, soft laughter, and the kind of wisdom that stays with you long after the moment has passed.

He is survived by his wife, Linda; his daughter, Vicki Roth of Mt. Jewett; his son, Bill (Tammy) Forquer of Mt. Jewett; his grandson, Jason Roth; his granddaughter, Ella Forquer; his brother, Larry (Joni) Forquer of Bradford; and a nephew, Troy Forquer.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Lyle Forquer; and a nephew, Todd Forquer.

A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.

Memorial donations may be made in Denny’s honor to the Mt. Jewett Sportsman’s Club.
