A Mere Moment About The Enriched Life of John W. Gorham

The key word is 'enriched'. John left just about everyone he met with a life more enriched and more purposeful than they had before meeting him. In turn, his life became more fulfilled. You see, 'pay it forward' was a commitment on how to act for John long before people saw the movie of the same title.

Time and time again over a period of ten years, I...

I was saddened to hear of John's passing. I am sure he is in a much better place now. He was a good man and a lot of fun to be around. He was a good business man and never afraid to take a chance. He had an adventurous side and a zest for Life and always liked to share his stories and experiences.
He will be missed !

Much love, Daisy

I am so fortunate to have had "The best uncle ever". At that time and place (my childhood), he was just what a little girl needed. He has always been very special to me. I have such great memories of Jack, Rita and him. I think he had a special understanding of my dad and that also endeared him to me. I will always remember the night he sang "Sunday Morning Comming Down" to me. He said that song reminded him of my dad. It was real special.

Love, Billie

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.
