James A. Gorman

June 21, 1930 - July 8, 2017

James Aloysius Gorman, 87, was called home to be with the saints and angels on Saturday, July 8, 2017. Jimmy was a beloved uncle, brother, and friend who exuded a style, grace, and stoicism reflective of his generation. He was unforgettable to anyone who met him. He was a Korean War Veteran, member of the Knights of Columbus, devout Catholic, and a strong advocate for the sacredness of life. For years, he could be found volunteering at St. Anne's Hospital or serving breakfast at the Claver House where he was known as the "toast master." Jimmy was an impeccable dresser and loved to share a good cup of tea with family or friends. He will be remembered for his sharp style, quick wit, love of Ireland, and legacy of devotion and generosity to his family. He was preceded in death by his parents, Patrick and Winifred Gorman, five brothers, and four sisters; including his twin sister Winnie. He is survived by over one hundred nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and their growing families.
