Dr. David P. Gorman

Dr. Judy, Family, and staff,
I am a 22 yr old girl from Malone and now a student at St. Rose in Albany. This past year I have been in the care of Dr. Gorman for 2 surgeries and a long year of pain. He always made me feel like I was the most important patient in the world. I know he was like that with everyone. Just reading what others thought of him makes me feel so lucky that I got the best care in the world! I am reluctant to go see another surgeon because I know that he always wanted to get to the bottom of my problems. My heart goes out to everyone! May one day there be a dr. in Malone that can carry on his great skill!

I want to express my deepest sympathy and condolences to family, friends, and aquaintances as patients of his loving care.

To the family of David Gorman
What a privilege it must have been to know Dr.David P. Gorman, personally.To read of him in the paper, I believe, fails to tell of the way he touched those around him ,how he took such pride in his work and demanded excellent care of his patients and how he was so passionate about life and how he made even his patients feel valued and important.How he instilled trust with his soft spoken manner and gave his patients comfort knowing he would do his very best.My sister has four beautiful daughters because , he took the time and patience during surgery to preserve a part of an ovary.Many share in your grief , what an amazing man he was .

I was shocked to read about the death of Dr. Gorman. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family. In the 1970's I worked for Dr. Gorman as his receptionist for almost nine years. Carol, I know how much you cared about your brother and I am truly sorry for your loss.

Our deepest sympathies to Dr. Gorman's family. We knew Dr. Gorman for an all too brief time but we appreciated how kind & welcoming he was to us. It is sad we will not get to know him better.

Dear Judy, Family and Staff,
I was greatly saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Gorman. I first became aware of his high standards, and the great respect his staff had for him during the time of my surgery. And Judy, I know that between the two of you (he on the phone and you performing the procedure)you saved my life.
Life has dealt you another painful blow; know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

To the family, friend and co-workers of Dr. Gorman;
Dr Gorman has been my doctor for more than 32 yrs. He was referred by another great North Country, Dr Wade Hastings. Upon returning to the north country, I immediately went back to Dr Gorman. I placed 100% of my trust in his word. The last time I saw him, Feb, 2007, he took the time to visit my Dad in the hospital. Dad was having problems with his heart and Dr. Gorman said that he would stop by to say "hello". He's a wonderful caring man to all individuals in the North Country. He is greatly missed.

Judy
We are so sorry to hear of your loss and very sorry that we were out of town and missed the services. Our Prayers are with you and your family. You have always been very special to us and we hope you know how much we care.
Sincerly, Richard, Mary, Rebecca,Catherine, James, Daniel and Mary Elizabeth Franke

Judy & Family----so sorry about the loss of Dr. David Gorman. I am a retiree of the Alice Hyde Medical Center in Malone, NY--I worked with David for about 40 years----I always admired & respected his patient care & zest for life----patient care always came first even tho his medical opnion was challanged many times. As he grew older & became a senior member of the Medical Staff----his presence, opinion & intense determination to help Cancer patients was held in the highest esteem by his fellow physicians-----the Staff of Alice Hyde Hospital has lost a valuable physician & friend----my prayers & thoughts will be with you in the days & months ahead as you & your family adjust to life without the good doctor. About a year ago he told me how he had converted to being a catholic & was enjoying teaching classes for others----he told me he was getting older --- some days more than others---he felt a need to connect with the man above----little did we know that connection would be sooner than later. God Bless. Geraldine Marlowe, Retired Personnel Director of the Alice Hyde Medical Center.

Judy,Val and family,
I recently told Dr.Gorman that I was getting a miniature statue of him for my dashboard! He gave me his big laugh and a hug and I am so very grateful for that moment.He always said"I will take good care of you" and he always did.It was\is such a priviledge to be a patient of his (and yours) and to know people with such skill,compassion and integrity.
I am so sorry for your loss -my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
With love and respect,
Robin Hogan (Rainbow Lake,N.Y.)

Judy,

My deepest condolences to you and your family. I do not need to tell you how wonderful your husband was. You and he were my saving grace in so many ways. I could never thank him enough for helping me, or for both of you for your compassion, and for making me well and getting me through the toughest times in my life. He is a man whom I know I will never forget. Judy, I am so sorry for your loss. Please keep him close and alive in your heart. All of my love and deepest respect to you and "Doc".

Respectfully,

Christy Pellerin

Dr.Gorman is an inspiration on living life to the fullest. He had a quest for knowledge and pushed himself in all areas of life. I have wonderful memories of the time spent with both David and Lorraine. I send my sincerest condolences to Lorraine who knew and understood Dr.Gorman in a way that no one else ever could. The love of 20 plus years was evident every time I spoke with him. He was an amazing physician and will be missed.

1 Corinthians 12:27-28 “Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. And in the church God has appointed first are apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, those who have the gift of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of leadership, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues.” All of us together are Christ’s body and each of us is a part of it. Dr. Gorman had two amazing parts, the gift of healing and the gift of leadership. He truly served Christ’s body well with the gifts God has given him.

Matthew 25:21and 23 "His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!” Dr. Gorman knew that he was to use his time, talents and treasures diligently in order to serve God completely. He also knew that whoever invested his time and talents to serve God would be rewarded. God scooped him up, hugged him and said, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

There is so much about Dr. Gorman that lets others see God’s goodness and love shining through and that’s why this thank you is really a prayer that God’s blessings will shine upon him. In the love of God, may he find strength and peace. In the prayers may he find comfort.

I am thinking and praying for all of you and thanking God for allowing my path to cross with Dr. Gorman. It truly was a miracle and a blessing. I want you to know that I am grateful for his skill, his sensitivity and dedication. He is the BEST. I hope God will be near him and I am asking that God keep him in his care.

My hope is that Dr. Gorman's family, friends and staff can take comfort in knowing that he is a special man. We can celebrate a life well lived in serving others.

May God continue to bless Dr. Gorman’s family, friends and staff.

Dr. Gorman was my doctor for the past 10 years. It was a comfort seeing him for my medical needs. He will be deeply missed and my sincere sympathy to his family.

I was not only a patient of Dr. Gorman's but worked with him as a nurse in the Alice Hyde many years ago. They will never be able to replace his skill and compassion. My heart goes out to all his family. We have lost a great physician and friend.

Mrs.Gorman and Staff,
Dr. Gorman has been my OBGYN for 35 years. He was a wonderful friend and Doctor.
I'm Nicole Foote's mom from poughkeepsie. She has said it best.
Dr. Gorman will be missed.God Bless him for all the young ladies that he helped. He was one of a kind. I will keep you all in my prayers. Debbie Foote

Dearest Carol,

My heartfelt condolences go out to you and David's family in your loss of a truly special brother, husband, father, grandfather, uncle and dear friend. Am also sorry for the community that has lost this compassionate and caring physician they respected and loved so well.

I knew David only through you, honey.. your love for him made me wish to know him better, and there's no finer tribute a sister can give her big bro!

God bless you all in this time of deepest sorrow. May you always have smiles in your hearts behind the memories.

Our deepest sympathy to David’s family, especially Judy. David will always be remembered as part of our “new family” and times spent with him…cherished forever.

Dr Gorman was the OB that delivered me in 1979 and was my mothers gyn and when my sister was born at 26 weeks in 1985 he saved my mothers life along with my sister. For that I am forever grateful. I never met Dr Gorman but my mother was very sad to hear about his passing.

I am very sorry for your loss. I was a patient 25 years ago and he was so comfortable to talk to. I appreciated his support for woman's rights.

Dear Val and family,
My heartfelt sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. I was so sorry to hear about your dad's passing.
While I didn't know your dad, he has left a beautiful legacy, a love of people,and a lust for life, and learning. These same attributes are freely shared by you with others,in your everyday world and serves as an ongoing tribute to your father.
Peace and love
Sharon Ratner

I am deeply saddened by the death of Dr. Gorman. It is going to be very difficult to find a physician like Dr. Gorman. He will be truly missed. My condolences to Judy, his family and his staff.

Judy & Staff,

I am so sorry to hear of your lost. He was a wonderful man when I saw him for my surgery. He was worried about my bronchitis when I was suppose to be having surgery soon. I felt very comfortable. He was a wonderful man

Judy and Staff
I was deeply saddened to hear of Dr Gorman's passing. As a patient of Dr Gorman, I had the benefit of his great knowledge. Dr. Gorman was not just a Dr, but he was a kind and understanding person and he let the patient make the decisions with his guidlines. I don't think anyone in the North Country can even come close to that.
My heart goes out to you Judy, his staff and family in this terrible time of loss.

JUDY AND FAMILY, I WAS SO SADDEN TO HEAR ABOUT THE DOCTOR. HE HAS DONE SO MUCH FOR ME, I WILL MISS HIM DEARLY. GOD BLESS YOU.

Judy,
I am so sorry for your loss. You were so helpful to me as a patient and I have not forgotten your kindness. I still have not found an office here that cares the way you and Dr. Gorman have for your patients. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of sorrow.

I, too, was shocked to hear of David's sudden passing. Doc lived his life to the fullest, and excelled at whatever he did.

I will always remember my days racing/sailing with him on Witchdoctor. (Especially one particular "Commodore MacDonough" overnight race in heavy south winds when we gybe-broached several times, and knocked David Bruner overboard TWICE!) I talked with Doc at Mayor's Cup this summer, and he was very happy with his life and family.

I know Doc will be missed by many. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends. May your memories of Doc make you smile and lessen your sorrow.

Dr. Gorman was a great doctor, surgeon and colleague. It was a pleasure to work and learn from him. Hopefully one day Doc, I will be able to put on a bandaid. HaHa!

Dr. Gorman will always hold a special place in the hearts of the people of the North Country. His smile and "country boy" swagger when he smiled, spoke of who he was. He was never too important to stop and say "Hello, folks."
He delivered my first child on Nov. 26, 1966, at Alice Hyde Hospital in Malone. I never had a doubt or a worry because he reassured me constantly that everything would be okay. He also delivered by second child with the same compassion and concern.
He built and spent a lot of tiime at the Skeet Club in Westville. I lived just down the road. If I was outside with the children he would often stop to see how the children were doing.
I belive his grandfather was Dr. William Macartney of Fort Covington, another physician who has a special place in the hearts of older North Country residents.
David Gorman was a special man. My sympathy goes out to his family and friends.

Dear Val and the rest of the family,
My heart and prayers go out to you for your loss.

We were so shocked to hear of David's passing. He was definately a class act and we have many great memories of the times we shared with David and Judy. His death is a great loss to the entire North Country. May he rest in peace.

Sincerest sympathy to Judy, Val, and to Dr. Gorman's entire family and all staff members. As one of his patients, I was able to benefit from his skill and knowledge. He was always smiling and never failed to greet anyone anywhere, even in Price Chopper. Dr. Gorman never let his education and accomplishments become a wall of separation between him and the rest of us. He will be missed.

My brother, my friend. I will miss you forever but will remember all the good times we had together!

He was a great asset to the Malone area and his footsteps will never be filled. I was a patient of his and was honest and concerned about you.
