Mr. Gorman was born Feb. 4, 1936, in Farmersville, to Michael James and Opal Annis (Volentine) Gorman. He married Linda Small in 1993, and she survives.
During his career, he served as a coal miner and boilermaker until his retirement in 1996.
Mr. Gorman enjoyed life to the fullest by spending his summers in Illinois and winters in Texas. He could do anything; he was a jack of all trades and had many hobbies to keep him busy.
He enjoyed traveling to all 50 states, watching Nascar, rooting for the Cardinals, watching his great-grandchildren race, going to Port Mansfield to feed the deer out of his hands, going to the Valley to see his friend play and sing in a band, cooking on his homemade cookers and gardening. He had a passion for fishing in Texas and hunting morel mushrooms in Wisconsin so he could have his annual “fish and mushroom fry.”
Mr. Gorman also volunteered many hours to the Moose, VFW in Ingleside, TX, and helped the KCs during Irish Days.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by his sons, Todd Gorman of Litchfield, Mikey Gorman of Hillsboro, John (Selena) Gorman of Waggoner, Robert (Heather) Gorman of Farmersville and Ryan (Karen) Gorman of Girard; three daughters, Erin (Dwayne) Dineen of Arkansas Pass, TX, Lisa Barry of Farmersville and Kelly Gorman of Mattoon; stepsons, Matt (Lisa) Everett of Loxahatchee, FL, Marty (companion Krisa) Everett of Butler and Mike (Lora) Everett of Litchfield; two sisters, Mary Alice Ryan and Lavina Rose Gorman, both of Corpus Christi, TX; mother-in-law, Pearl Laird of Litchfield; 20 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; and several nieces, great-nieces, nephews and great-nephews.
Mr. Gorman was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, John Paul, Marty and Robert Gorman; and two granddaughters, Brenna Gorman and Meghan Everett.
Memorials may be directed to the Litchfield Moose Lodge #1634 or Montgomery County Paws Care.
