Pat Gorman

Mary, Joe, Tommy, Sandra, Aoibheann, Liam, Oisín, Caoimhe, Sadhbh, Alanna, Donnacha, Cian, Eve, Bébhinn, Mags, Uncle Sean and all the Gormans please accept my deepest sympathies.

1992 turned out to be one of my happiest. Looking back, the lifelong friendships forged with Pat & Chris were an incredibly important and positive influence on me. Closer, more loyal friends you couldn’t ask for. It was easy being around Pat, he was quick witted, funny, friendly and the conversation always flowed… he wasn’t a bad singer either ! …but he could cut you in half if you got above your station and that’s just one of the things I loved about him.

Thank you all for allowing Chris and myself be such a large part of his send off, it will in time, I’m sure, become a great source of comfort to us both.

As the old saying goes, if you can count the true friends you have on 1 hand, you are lucky, on the 7 Feb after 32 years I lost a finger. We will do our utmost to continue our regular trips and meet ups and to fulfil the plans we had set in motion, but one thing is for sure, Pat will always travel with us in our hearts and minds.

Until me meet again, dearest friend.

Mark & Helen Walsh

My sincere condolences to Mary and family on the incredibly sad loss of your precious brother Pat. He clearly meant so much to so many. May he Rest in Peace

I was so sorry to read today of Pat's death. He was a ray of light any morning he was behind the wheel. An absolute gentleman & always so pleasant with a kind word. Even when I saw him one evening on the 115, he gave me a big wave. To his heartbroken family & colleagues in Bus Eireann, please accept my heartfelt condolences.

Sincere condolences to Pat’s extended family, friends and colleagues. He will be greatly missed. As a commuter on the 120 bus route it was always a pleasure to see Pat drive. He was so friendly and helpful to everyone and many times I observed his kindness to elderly people ensuring they were not rushed getting on or off the bus. He was a remarkably nice person. May he Rest In Peace.

Condolence to all of Pat's family and friends on his untimely passing 🙏 may his kind and gentle soul rest in eternal peace may Pat get the biggest bed in heaven 🙏

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Pat. Pat was the most friendly bus driver, I always was greeted with a smile and we had a laugh, when I got Pat bus from Celbridge to Dublin. Deepest Condolences to Pat family and friends 🙏 R.I.P Pat xx

Sincere sympathy to you all on Pat's death. It is such a shock to us and all his friends. Who wouldn't miss his friendship,his great laugh and the bit of slagging.

A huge light has gone out in the world. Gone long before your time. You will be sadly missed by everybody. It was an absolute privilege to know and work with you for the past 6 years. Nobody can match your energy, kindness, humour and wit. All amazing traits of yours amongst many more. I’ll forever wonder how you had the talent of being able to talk to anybody and everybody. It’s going to be difficult knowing I won’t bump into you in Busáras or in Broadstone anymore.

If you were ever having a bad day in work it would be completely the opposite within seconds of bumping into him. Always a laugh, a joke and a bit of gossip about something. A confidante and dear friend outside of work. I’ll miss all the conversations about work, music, family and anything transport related to name a few. All treasured memories that will last a lifetime.

My deepest and sincerest condolences to Mary, Tommy, Joey, all of his nieces and nephews, all of the extended family and his many many friends. May you rest in peace Pat 🙏🕊️

My deepest sympathy to the Gorman family on Pat's passing. He brightened the day on the 120 on your way to work. When I left Edenderry, I often wondered what route he was on. Little did I know the 115 whilst waiting to get to Maynooth. Resht in peace Pat.

Sincerest sympathy to all the Gorman families on the very sad passing of Pat, may he rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy to the Gorman family and to all who knew and loved Pat. May he rest in peace.

My condolences to the Gorman Family on the passing of Pat. I kept putting this off as it seems so final. Still in shock about this. Pat was a wonderful, kind, caring and funny person. I will miss bumping into him in the yard and hearing the yarns and having the craic with him. The tears rolling down my face from laughter with him. Now they are sad tears for I will miss him so much. Rest in Peace Pat.

Our condolences to the extended Gorman and Flanagan families on the loss of your beloved brother and cousin Pat. He was a childhood friend of my own brother David who predeceased him, and Declan enjoyed their chats in the Post Office. You must be devastated by the sudden loss of such a good-humoured, good-natured man. May his memory be a blessing to you all. Rest in peace, Pat.

Deepest sympathies to the family of Pat. We remember him well coming to the house as a curly haired little boy. He was a good friend of our son David Bradley, who passed away in recent months. We were so sorry to hear the news that Pat had also died. We hope these two old friends have been reunited in heaven. May Pat rest in heavenly peace.

Pat was the pure meaning of a gentleman. He always had the time to get to know his passengers on the 120 bus. If didn't see you for few days and was outta the norm, he always ask everything okay didn't see you last few days.
Always asked how my paramedic training was going, always knew your stop hopping off at, and one instance fell asleep on way to college, Usally hopped off at heuston station and got woken by Pat... Legend and just a gentleman with great communication skills and care for everyone. Condolences to family.

Pat was such a lovely kind thoughtful man. I was on the 120 bus for about 8 years and i would always be happier when Pat was on the bus. The stories and impressions were some of his best and most times i wouldn't get to the seat before we hit Dublin. RIP Pat a tragic loss gone too soon.
Condolence to Pat's family and work mates.

Shocking news, and deepest sympathies. Pat was a great friend on the 120 bus route for many years. "Ni bheidh a leitheid ann aris"

Was very sorry to hear of Pat's passing.
I will always remember his welcoming smile and jokes, always full of laughter and full of chat on the 120 bus.
Pat was a great friend to Daddy (Martin) and he always thought so much of you and talked about you so fondly.
I hope you are both together now, having a chat about the good old days.
You got a beautiful send off you truly deserved, a credit to all your friends in Bus Eireann, thinking of all your family and friends at this difficult time.
Rest in peace Pat x

"Let us die young or let
let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never"..words of the chorus of a song played hudreds of times by Pat, Mark and I on our travels..Forever Young...as Tommy said at the graveside, this is how we will always remember him.. We lost our brother, not by birth, but friendship this week and the hole that leaves is indescribable.

We had known each other nearly 32 years, from September 1992 when we 3 started our studies in Transport Engineering in Bolton Street..an unbreakable bond formed, and many trips to Corcloon, where we were welcomed by all the Gorman family,became a pilgrimage for us as often as we could manage. We ventured further afield in later years: London, Frankfurt,(6 times!) Budapest and most recently Lisbon,with his Uncle Sean and cousins Mags and John..

House mover, groomsman, honorary uncle to my kids, advisor, motoring correspondent, confidante, fellow bus nerd, gig companion, dolly parton fan.The list is endless...but most important.: Friend. The most generous, kind, giving and loved friend.

Pat Gorman was like a brother to myself and Mark..it was my pleasure to have had the honour to know him and had him as such a close friend.
He has left us too soon, and we will never forget him.

I was humbled to take part in his send off, and offer sincere condolences and grateful thanks to Joey,Mary, Tommy, Ger and Sandra on his passing.
May he rest in peace
To use one of his own phrases.
'Thanks Ever So Much'...❤️

I am only today honouring Pat with some words after an over whelming celebration of his life yesterday. As broken as Mary, Tommy and Joey and Pat's lovely extended family mustt feel, you managed to give Pat a send off worthy of the absolute beautiful person he was. My deepest condolences to you all on a loss that is immeasurable. It was an honour to know him and his kindness and the world is a sadder place without him. Chris and I will remember him forever. ❤️

So sorry to hear this sad news Mary and family. Pat sounds like one of lifes funny and kind souls, a real gem. May he RIP
