It is with great sadness that the family of Bob Gorman
announce his death at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital on
Tuesday, December 27th, 2022, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Born in Fredericton on January 6, 1936, he was the son of the late
Cecil and Mildred
(Coughlan).
He was predeceased by his wife Martha and leaves behind
sons, Ross (Kelly) and Dave (Lori); daughter, Carolyn (Jeffrey);
grandchildren, Daniel and Matthew Gorman, Sydney and Leah Paterson,
several nieces, nephews, cousins, lifelong friend Helen Jean Gorman
and family as well as a number of close
friends.
In addition to his parents, Bob was predeceased by his
brothers, Douglas, Murray, and sister Geraldine Markey. A lifelong and
proud resident of Devon, Bob spent most of his life working in the
trucking industry. Upon retirement, he volunteered at the DECH for
many years as a greeter, ensuring patients needs were met with
compassion and a sense of humor. He enjoyed wood working and could
“MacGyver” most anything. By way of his good friend, Burton
Dykeman, Bob discovered simulated aircraft flying where he piloted
various aircraft throughout North America without ever leaving the
comfort of home. His keen sense of humor was evidenced by his
preference for the newer aircraft claiming they were more “fuel
efficient”.
Special thanks go out to Bob’s neighbours of
37 years, Kim and Connie Fullarton, whose assistance and friendship,
especially over the last few months was much appreciated by him and
family. Also, thank you to Dr. Anne Colpitts and staff for their
exceptional care and
kindness.
In keeping with Bob’s wishes there will be no
visitation or service. Interment will take place at the Sunny Bank
Cemetery in spring of 2023. Donations in Bob’s memory can be
made to the charity of the donor’s
choice.
