Woodrow Gorbach

Gorbach, Woodrow W.
Woodrow Wilson Gorbach, 92, passed away in South Palm Beach, FL, after a brief illness. A member of the South Palm Beach City Council, he was still working as a real estate broker two weeks prior to his death, and had a closing a week before he was hospitalized. Married 63 years to Lois, Woody was a WWII veteran, decorated for his participation at Anzio Beach, and had full military honors at his funeral in West Palm Beach, FL. In addition to his wife, he is survived by two sisters, Gertrude Greenhouse and Rita Spector, his children, Donald Gorbach, Andrea & Tony Lembeck, and his grandchildren, Averi and Jared Seligman. A son, Eric Gorbach, predeceased his father. The Gorbach family lived in Westport for 25 years and Woody was active in the community, sponsoring several teams in Westport's Little League, regularly attending Staples High School football games and frequenting his favorite restaurants: The Arrow, Mario's, the Sherwood Diner, Golds and Coffee An'. The Gorbach family were members of Temple Israel. After returning from the war, Woody believed every day was a gift. He was a unique force, a special man and lived a full, extraordinary life. He will be dearly missed.
