Not sure what to say?

I think about you often Uncle Buddy. I remember going to the Orioles games with you, because we walked to the Ball Park from your apt. two blocks away. I remember all the girls that stopped by all the time, as a young boy I was impressed. You always spent time with me teaching me how to hit, throw and field the ball. When you came to visit us in S Fla, NPB, little Dave would tell the kids at school you were coming for dinner. The kids in turn told their dads, and our street was full of...

Thanks Uncle Buddy for the Red Sox tickets back in 1994. It was so exciting to sit and watch you on the phone entertaining trade offers. That day, the Indians GM called and offered Jim Thome for Wade Boggs. You turned him down. Who would have guessed Thome would still be playing today? Thanks again for the time you spent with me and your nephew David. You gave me baseball education I have never forgotten. You are in my prayers.

Uncle Buddy, we will miss you dearly. You're love and devotion to family gave us great inspiration and strength. You lead by example with a firm belief in God, the conviction to forge ahead, and always tempered it with love. You encouraged us to better ourselves through determination, hard work and faith, offering your wisdom and support each step of the way. May God bless you and welcome you with open arms.

Dear Mary Lou, As your Stone Ridge classmate, I am so sorry to hear about Lou. Please know that you, Lou and the family are in our prayers, with love.

To one of the most outstanding men I have met in my life. A man of integrity, honesty and generous to all. I will always remember my conversations with him in Florida at Jupiter, at Long Boat Key and extension 6655. He was ver good to my family, my daughter, Laureen Morgan, my grandson Cortland James Young of Walcott Ct. We lost a dear friend. My condolences go out to MAry and her family. Will always love and cherish Capt. James Gorman.

To the Gorman Family;

Lou was a wonderful person who truly loved his wife, his family, the U.S. Navy, his church, the game of Baseball, and the friendships he nurtured with his marvelous personality.

He was a delight to know, an extraordinary source of baseball lore, and an exceptionally kind, caring, warm human being.

He made all those whose lives he touched, better people. It was an honor and a privilege to have known him.

My sincere condolences...

Our Deepest Sympathy and our Prayers are with Mrs. Gorman and the Gorman Family.

Deepest Condolence Leo, Virginia and the Gorman Family.
Sorry to hear of your brother Lou's passing. Many years ago I played baseball with Lou for St. Michaels and the Independent Amatuer League. I ran into him many times at Fenway and he was so gracious to my son and myself. May he rest in peace.

Thanks Lou for the Red Sox memories, taking part in the Moving Wall Boston and your service to our Country.
Your family is in my prayers.
