SYLVESTER J. III 'SYL', on Memorial Day, May 31, 2004. Beloved husband of Mary Elizabeth "Betty' (nee Ward) for 56 years, loving father of S. John IV (Maureen), Susan Lawton (Tom), James, Timothy (Barbara) and Peggy McKeon (Ted), dear brother of Veronica Raidy and Patrick J. Gorman; also survived by his 16 grandchildren and one great grand-daughter. Syl was a 1942 graduate of LaSalle College High School. He entered Franklin & Marshall's Marine Corp. V12 program and served in the Pacific. He was most proud of his love for and service to his country. He graduated from Franklin & Marshall, as a member of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity in 1947 and enrolled in Georgetown Law and then joined the FBI. After deciding the FBI was not the life he wanted with a young family, Mr. Gorman decided to follow in his father's footsteps and went into the paint business with DuPont.

Mr. Gorman enjoyed his home in Ocean City with his wife, children and grandchildren, he was an avid reader and a Civil War buff. Syl loved golf and was a longtime member of Whitemarsh Valley Country Club as well as being a member of Seaview Country Coub, and the New York Athletic Club, he also enjoyed dual citizenship in the Republic of Ireland.
