Austin Gormley

Austin Gormley has gone to join his beloved Blanche. Austin was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1933. He emigrated to Canada from Ireland, then to the United States. He was a man of many talents. His first job was as a golf caddy, where he also learned how to play. He was a mechanic, a welder, a telegraph pole repairman, a truck driver, a bridge demolition specialist, a golf instructor to the stars, an elevator engineer, and a real estate broker. He knew how to blow up rocks with dynamite. He was a fabulous golfer. But what he was best at was being a husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He will be dearly missed by his children, Paul and Martelle, their partners Emily and Scott, and his four grandchildren, Ronan, Mat, Saoirse, and Eamonn who will always remember their Papa. He is also survived by nieces and nephews around the world. We will always cherish his unwavering support and his relentless optimism.
