Gorman and Phyllis owned and operated the Pine View Boat Marina, Pine View Plunge and the SKI Inn, in Huntsville, Utah. Together they won many trick skiing awards. He was an avid hunter and fisherman spending hours with his grandsons teaching them the joys in the duck marshes, the woods, and the lakes. He spent every winter in Mexico on the Sea of Cortez. His quick wit and great sense of humor will be missed by all.
