Diane and Family,
Slugger and I were very blessed to know Dave, and enjoyed chatting with him. He was a very "SPECIAL" person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I only knew David for two brief months. He shared a room with my father at Fort Hudson during his rehab. I thoroughly enjoyed the conversations we had while visiting with dad. He was always trying to inspire my dad. He had so much experience and knowledge to offer in the raising of chickens and pigs. He shared stories of his life and family. I feel very fortunate to have known him. He is someone I will always remember.
My father is unable to attend the service due to his health. He is greatly saddened by his untimely passing. David really did him a world of good and he enjoyed his company. He sends his deepest sympathies. ("Doc" Harold Archambault)

As I sit here today thinking about Uncle Dave with every thought, there is much that comes to mind. I am most sad that my dad, Bill, the youngest brother, is left without his best friend besides my mother. Uncle Dave and my dad talked all the time. They may not have been close in age and miles, but you couldn't ask for a more close relationship between two brothers. Everyone has a favorite something, be it a toy, a song, a meal....my favorite has always been my uncle who I am going to miss more than words will ever be able to describe. He may have miles away from me, but I always felt his closeness beside me and that feeling will truly never leave me. I only wish we all lived closer together because family was important to him. "I shall but only pass this one time through life, and if I have brought goodness and joy then I have fulfilled my journey". I do believe, dear Uncle Dave, you have done exactly that.

I remember visits with my Uncle Dave when I was young, but I don’t feel like I truly met him until two years ago when my brother and I took our father, John to visit him. Our mom had just passed away, and we hoped the visit would cheer my dad. Dave surprised me with his quick wit and mind like a steel trap. I had such fun listening to his stories about their childhood! As fast as the memories flowed from him, he was even more interested in the present. The most touching moment of that trip came when we were riding in the car. Dave was in front and my dad was in back. Dave quietly asked, “Is my little brother asleep?” I said, “Yes.” and then Dave asked us, very concerned, “How is he really doing with your mom’s death?” He listened and gave us good counsel. You couldn't ask for a sweeter uncle and brother than Dave Gorr.
Dave told me many times that his idea of life was everyone helping each other. He gave as good as he got in that respect, so maybe that’s the secret of a good, long life. I will miss hearing his voice (that I think sounded like Tigger!) and sharing a laugh, but I am so very glad I knew Dave for even a little while. My heart goes out to Gail and Tim and the rest of Dave’s NY family who cared so much for him.

I am Berth's daughter, and my Uncle Dave moved away before I was born. I have only seen him a handful of times, and spoken on the phone several times. I know Uncle Dave was a jovial man, who loved the independent life he had in the beautiful mountains of New York. I was there once, for Aunt Ruth's funeral. My mother (Bertha) has been in regular phone contact with Uncle Dave for the past few years, and she would tell me about the conversations they had on the phone. It has been nice for them to be able to come together in their late years, to hear the stories that Dave would tell her about their family when they were growing up, since there is a large age difference between them. My mom and I are grateful for those people in Uncle Dave's life who showed him kindness, especially Tim and Gail Lawson in these past years. We should all be so fortunate to have people like them in our lives.

We met David only a month or so ago. He shared a room with my father at Fort Hudson Rehab in Fort Edward, NY. David was a bright spot in our lives when we visited my father. We talked about so many things, and he shared his pictures and stories of his family and friends. He was usually busy working on rugs that he would give to those who were special in his life. He also talked about his love for cooking, and spoke about his recipe for sour meat, which he raved was so great. He also talked about the pickles with horseradish from Oscars, and said he had a eye opening experience when he decided to try eating some of the horseradish from the jar. We laughed and enjoyed a slice of life together. We were sorry to not have had a chance to see him when dad came home. He was at the hospital at that time but had called to let everyone know he was fine and that he would be back soon. He was sure he would be going home in a couple of weeks, and we were sure that he would. We are very saddened that he has left this world. He was truly a caring, wonderful man. We feel very fortunate to have had the chance to know him ever so briefly.

You are finally with Aunt Ruth. May your time together be all that you have missed throughout the last 54 years since she has been gone.
The holidays will not be the same without your phone calls to talk to everyone.
We'll miss you!
Love, Nancy

The loss I feel is incredible. Just like grandpa, I never thought you would ever leave this world. How I will treasure our jokes, stories, laughter. No more letters for me to send, stories to share or pictures between us. Our last conversation was the best. I am sorry I can't be there to say good bye. Saying good bye is the hardest thing to say. I never said good bye, I always said I'll talk to you soon. I can't say good bye because that means forever. I'll still talk to you, just in a different way. The memories I have will be carried in my heart.
You will be missed by us all. Things will just never be quite the same. I know you lived 91 years, but to me you were always ageless and young. I am grateful that you lived independently until the end. You fought a great fight when most of us would have given up a long time ago....you certainly showed your persistence and what every Gorr is known for - being a fighter. I know you weren't happy not being at home, if I have to be happy I am happy you are now at home and at peace. Not sure who you met first, Aunt Ruth, your ma, but I am sure you were met with open and loving arms.
Be peaceful.Rest now safely in the arms of Jesus and until we meet again....we'll talk soon, Uncle Dave, I promise.
Love your niece,
Bette Jean
