Gary Gorman Obituary

Gary Lee Gorman died April 15, 2011, at Bozeman Deaconess Hospital.

Gary was born in Bozeman on Sept. 27, 1937, to Joe and Gladys (Allbaugh) Gorman. He graduated from Gallatin High School in 1955 and married Anne Forsythe in November 1955. They had two children, Laurie and Scott.

Gary married Linda Roy in December 1966 and enjoyed the rest of his life with her.

Gary loved life, especially his Harleys, cars, building and flying model airplanes, fishing, boating, guns and his animals.

He worked for Hines Motor Supply/Bumper to Bumper in Bozeman for more than 50 years.

Gary is survived by his wife of 44 years, Linda; his daughter, Laurie; son, Scott; grandchildren, Katie, Darby, Angela and Kyle; and his spoiled puppy, Bo.

He will also be missed by his special neighbors, Mike and Becky; and his former wife and friend, Anne.

Gary has been cremated, and a remembrance will be held at a later date.

Gary was the first friend I ever had. We spent the first 12 years of our lives next door to each other. He will be missed. My best to Linda, Laurie and Scott.

To all of Gary's family,
I remember going to Hines with my Dad and Mom when I was a little girl. Gary always had a smile and usually would kid all of us when we came through the door. In later years when I'd go pick up parts for my Dad, Gary was always very helpful, but still enjoyed giving me a hard time. I will always have wonderful memories of the crew at Hines.
