John E. Gorkis

Sheila I am so sorry to hear about John. He was always a joy to talk to and take care of. If there is anything I or Melinda can do please don't hesitate. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Mr. Gorkis was one of my favorite teachers at Meadowdale HS. I remember talking him into selling big dill pickles in the DE Bookstore. It really didn´t take much talking though and the pickles were a big hit!!! Rest well Mr. Gorkis.

He was a great teacher I had him for distributive education at meadowdale in 1972 and 73. A very nice man I would see him when I worked at Kroger on Salem Ave

My condolences to all the family. I also remember the antique action when they met.

Sheila, I just today learned of John´s passing. I am so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you. He always had a warm greeting and beautiful smile. It was such a pleasure working with you at the Middletown Antique Mall and seeing you two at various shops and events. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you. Carole Blount

Sheila, you have our deepest condolences on the passing of your dear soulmate John. You and I have been friends ever since we lived next door to each other on Center Street in the early 1980's. When John came into your life about that time I was so happy for you. Your years together have been a blessing to both of you and to all those around you. We will miss his happy smile, his kind words, and his passion for antiques, history and preservation. The world, and all of us, are better...

Sheila and family- Bob and I are saddened to hear of John's passing. The 2 of you have improved many properties here in Germantown with your expertise in renovations, and we thank you for that. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.
