Quote:
Prominent Calgary businessman, community leader and former football star John Forzani is in a Palm Springs hospital after suffering an apparent heart attack.
On Thursday, the Eisenhower Medical Center confirmed Forzani is a patient in the facility’s intensive care unit. A spokesperson said Forzani’s condition is “undetermined.”
Forzani is a founder of The Forzani Group and ran the company for many years and is a minority owner in the Calgary Stampeders.
Several friends say it appears Forzani had a massive heart attack.
Quote:
Ken King, president and chief executive of the Calgary Flames, said he is “crushed and devastated” by the news.
“He’s a very dear and close friend,” said King, who has known Forzani since 1976.
“What he as a person has accomplished from a business perspective is very well known . . . This is a beautiful man. A beautiful person.”
