Larry Allen Gorman
July 2, 1947 — February 13, 2020
Larry Allen Gorman, 72, died February 13, 2020, at Hancock Regional Hospital after a short illness. He was born in Elm Grove, Ohio on July 2, 1947, to Jesse Clarence and Marietta (McCoy) Gorman.
He was a 1965 graduate of Carthage High School. Larry traveled the country and the world with Roots Blower Company/Dresser Industries based in Connersville, Indiana, until 1972, when he met the love of his life, Connie. Larry and Connie Dyer married on August 3, 1973 and settled in Carthage. Larry was active in Rush County politics and owned his own construction company for over a decade, well into the 1980s. He went to work for the United States Postal Service in 1977, as a substitute rural route carrier. After the birth of his daughter, Annamarie, Larry would close the chapter on politics to focused on his family, working full-time for the Postal Service, and assuming the role as the National Rural Letter Carriers' Association Steward for his office.
Larry enjoyed his life to the fullest, traveling with his family, spending the summers at the Knightstown ballpark coaching girls’ softball, keeping the diamonds in shape, and sitting back and enjoying a good game. After his daughter grew up, along came his two grandchildren, Hunter Cheyenne and Dane Allan, that kept him on his toes. Larry retired from the United States Postal Service in 2010, after reaching the Million Mile Award for thirty years of safe driving in 2007.
In retirement, he enjoyed spending time with his family, fishing, growing a garden, which he shared with the community, and hanging out with his buddies at the racetrack. Larry enjoyed watching horseracing and cheering on the Yankees and Reds. He will be remembered for his generous and caring heart, his wacky sense of humor, and his wild, curly hair.

He is preceded by both parents; in-laws Adrian and Anna Lou Dyer; brother, John Gorman; son-in-law, Adam Coy; and granddog, Beezer.
