Condolences to the Fortman Family in the loss of your loved-one. I was privileged to have first met Dick in the 80’s and have played numerous games with him through mail play as well as the internet. I received many tips from him on the Game and will forever be grateful for having met such a friendly and polite gentleman. The Checkers World has lost a great advocate. God Bless and may he rest in peace.

My condolences to the Fortman Family he will be sorely missed.

The Ackman family sends their deepest sympathy, prayers, and condolences to Mrs. Fortman and the entire Fortman family. This was a truly good, honest, and kind man. He was unfailing kind to us throughout his long, full, and meaningful life. The world is just a little less for his passing. Vaya con dios, Sr. Fortman. You are missed.
Jim, Jan, and Katie Ackman
