Brendan "Buddy" Hugh Gorman, 69, of Boston, MA passed away at Massachusetts General Hospital on April 26, 2020. Buddy was born in Lowell, MA on July 10, 1950, the son of Hugh Gorman and Dorothy M. (Costello) Humphries. He graduated from Emerson College in 1974 with a degree in Performing Arts and danced professionally. He entered the travel industry in 1983, specializing in corporate travel, eventually joining The Travel Collaborative in 2003. Buddy was a champion roller skater and ice skater. He loved travel, gardening, bingo, the BBN circus, sour cream, and HGTV. What made him the happiest was being Papa to his daughters Anna (8) and Cameron (3). He was a devoted brother to his sister Kathy. He leaves his partner of thirty years, Paul Huang of Boston; their daughters, Anna and Cameron; his sister, Kathy Manty of Dracut, MA; close friends, Janice Morin of Manchester, NH and Judy Paladino of Hudson, NH; and his aunt and cousins. Buddy will be laid to rest at Mount Calvary Cemetery Mausoleum, Manchester, NH. A memorial service and celebration of his life will be held at a later date. He was very appreciative of the care he received at Massachusetts General Hospital, and donations may be made in his memory to the MGH by going to https://because.massgeneral.org/give/276647/#!/donation/checkout?utm_source=massgeneral.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=mgh-spotlight&utm_campaign=emergency-response-covid.

So sorry to hear of Buddy's loss. My son and I will never forget him. When my son was just a young child Buddy was kind and wonderfully funny with him. We have a story we will never forget, and every time we think of Buddy in the future, it will make us smile! RIP Buddy. Love and prayers to your family.

RIP Buddy! I'll never forget the Summer we spent with your sister together in Dracut. After the Brownie incident I thought we were going to be homeless for the balance of it. It always comes up when I think of you. Love and prayers are with you and the wonderful family you left behind.

So very sorry to hear of this loss. I didn't get to see Buddy much over the years but was kept updated through cousin Kathy at family gatherings, The updates usually came with an entertaining value to them
to be expected I was to learn quickly. My deepest sympathy to Paul ,Anna ,Cameron and Kathy.
Hopefully the memories of his BIG personality and the loving welcoming party to greet him will help soothe some of the pain. Say Hi to everyone Buddy.
