Robert F. Gorman

I was a student at Haynes School in 62. I was in 2nd grade. One cold January day on the playground I slipped and fell hit my head and was bitten by a snake on my forehead. He saw me. I showed him the bump on my head and the two fang wounds side by side on the bump on my head. I told him I fell landed next to a hole and a snake came out and bit me.
He patiently walked me outside reminding me that snakes aren't out in the winter. I pointed out the spot, he leaned down and showed me a spot...

Mr. Gorman was one of the best teachers! He and Mrs. Ally were inspirational. I just found out that he passed away in February. It's May 2020, and I was looking him up because I had such good memories flood back as I listen to Hank Williams. I liked how he started class with a record from "Snoopy and the Red Baron" to "Hot Rod Lincoln" and more. I remember the drill calls out on the field as we practiced military marching. Thank goodness he taught us how to not pass out in the heat at parade...

Wishing Mr. Gorman's family peace and great memories of him at this difficult time. My maternal grandmother, Beatrice Martin, was a friend and fellow teacher with Mr. Gorman in the early years of his teaching career. She used to tell us what a remarkable teacher he was. My parents moved to Sudbury in 1959, and Mr. Gorman was our principal when the Josiah Haynes School opened when I was in second grade. He was revered by the students, and it was always a special day when Mr. Gorman came...

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Gormans passing. I have few teachers in my past that left an indelible mark on my life and my Fifth grade teacher was certainly one. While disciplined in the classroom, Mr. Gorman always could find a way to laugh.

One of my favorite School projects throughout my entire childhood was my Rube Goldberg project. Mr. Gorman had a unique way of making learning fun, while still expecting Your best.

I know a few of my siblings benefitted from Mr....

I worked with Bob for many years.
I will always remember his stories about fishing. He cared about conservation.
There are many stories but this is the one I thought of first. Bob's classroom was unique. When you went to his classroom you knocked on the door and waited. A student would open it and then the entire class would stand and greet you.You always returned the greeting.
He played and the students sang the national anthem every morning in his classroom. He was always very...

Dear family of Mr. Gorman, At such a time, words seem meaningless and only the heart speaks. Three of our seven children were fortunate to have Mr. Gorman as a Fifth Grade teacher in SUDBURY. His legacy lives on in them as well as countless other students. Be assured our hearts are full of gratitude for his unconditional commitment to his students. Beyond the classroom, we remember when our childrens grandfather passed away, Mr. Gorman personally came to the wake to express his condolences....

Mr. Gorman was the principle at Haynes Elementary School in the 60's always so kind
and made you feel special. I remember he had a ring I think it was a College ring, that whistled I still remember it after all this time. Condolences to his family he was always loved and respected! One of the good guys!

Robert was my fifth grade teacher. I have fond memories of classes with Mr Gorman. He was dedicated to his students and wanted you to succeed no matter what obstacles were placed in front of you. Thinking about Robert and his family.
