Scott Gorman Obituary

Scott passed away suddenly in his home on the morning of January 18th.

Scott served in the armed forces in his younger years, for the love of his country, and then went on to retire from the State of Connecticut Dept. of Corrections.

Scotty was a one of a kind guy who could make friends with anybody and everybody, no matter where he was. He lit up a room with his personality, had an infectious sense of humor, and was a pure comedian. He could make anybody laugh, even on their worst day. He was also a great listener and would be happy to give you advice if you needed it. Scotty was a "gentle giant" who had a huge heart which he consistently demonstrated through his generosity and loyalty to his family and friends.

Scott's biggest enjoyments in life were spending time with his family, who he loved more than anyone could! He had a lifelong passion for his childhood football team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and of course his Boston Red Sox.

Unlike so many who leave this earth, at the time of his sudden departure, he was "soaring" on his way (up) to a new and exciting life in Georgia with his wife, and his two step-children, who he adored as much as his own three daughters.

Scott leaves behind his mother and father, James and Loretta Gorman of Tolland and his wife, Julie of South Windsor. He also leaves behind his three beloved daughters, Brooke (and husband, Justin Dubois) of Ware, MA, Megan (and husband, Thomas Tribble) of Tolland, CT, and Makayla Gorman, also of Tolland. Scott was also the loving caretaker of his two wonderful step-children, special needs Catina, who he loved unconditionally, and Angelo, his only son by marriage with whom he had a very special bond. They were inseparable! Scott also leaves behind his older brother, Jim Gorman (and wife Zina) and "big sis" Kelly(and husband, Todd) LeBlond, all from Tolland.

Scott had his first grandson, Noah, to whom he wished a very bright and happy future. He also leaves behind some (very favorite) nieces, Sarah Gorman of Portland, Oregon, Ashley Goepfert (and her husband, Steve) of Tolland, Brittany LeBlond, of Delray Beach, Florida, and several great nieces and nephews.

Scott's funeral services will be as follows: Tolland Memorial Funeral Home, 375 Merrow Rd. Tolland, CT 06084, Friday, January 26th 2-5 pm calling hours.

Immediately following a military sendoff and short blessing, there will be a celebration of Scott's incredible life at Willington Pizza One on Rte. 32 in Mansfield, CT.

Gorman Family it is with many fond memories I remember Scott, he loved his football family as much as he loved the game. He spent a good deal of time at the Reutter home with David, often getting to each other's on their bicycles. I hope as you reflect on Scott you remember the days that brought him to his happy places. Thinking of you all, Joan Reutter Kratzke
