The CFL family is saddened by the news of John Forzani’s passing. As a league, we are immensely proud to say he was one of ours.
As individuals, we are so grateful to have known him. On the field, John was a Grey Cup champion. In business, he epitomized the entrepreneurial spirit. In the community, he supported causes he believed in. And as a member of our Board of Governors, and an owner of the Calgary Stampeders, he did much to move the CFL forward. Gregarious and outgoing, John was a joy to be around. He not only demonstrated to us all how to reach lofty goals; he showed us how to enjoy the journey, as well. Our thoughts are with his family.
Like all of his other friends across the country, we will miss him, and remember him.
