I am so sorry for your loss, it was evident how strong your love for your husband was and will continue to be and how well loved you were and still are by him. I'll pray that God cradles your heart gently in His loving hands while you try to absorb the loss of him in the physical but know that he lives on in the many hearts he touched while on this earth. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this very sad time.
Love,

Please accept my sympathy on your loss. I so enjoyed the days Grandpop Gormley came to Kdg. lunch. He pulled no punches and told it like it was! He also donated his pay each day & told me to buy something for the students. Sophia, you are a fantastic kid, I know your Grandpop was very proud of you.
Love, Mrs. Mary Toczylowski

Robert M. Gormley : the epitome of grace!

In living and in dying, Bob Gormley led by example. He graciously accepted life’s may challenges … never complaining, always putting his best foot forward. In serving his God, his family, his country and the wider community, he embraced all with care and empathy.

His blessed soul is now at rest. May that rest be beautiful and peaceful…

We all miss you…
