Obituary
Joseph Gorski passed away peacefully on May 2, 2017 surrounded by his loving family at Florida Hospital of New Smyrna Beach. Joe came from a family of 11 siblings – Stasia, Stanley, Anna, Mike, Eddie, Irene, Walter, William, Mary, and Brenda. He graduated from Clinton High School and Worcester Boys Trade school where he became a licensed electrician, employed for 40 years in his trade. He also proudly served in the US Navy for five years on air craft carrier USS Essex and USS Leyte. Joe was the community handyman and was never afraid to tackle a project. He was an avid fisherman in all seasons in both Maine and Florida, but his favorite fishing trip was to Alaska. Joe loved spending time with his family including his two children, three grandchildren, and new great grandson who all fondly referred to him as “Puppie”. He is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Miriam Gorski; daughter Elaine and her husband James Lang; son Joseph Gorski Jr.; grandson Evan Gorski; granddaughters Kristen and her husband Sherwin Parkhurst and Kaitlyn Lang; great grandson Jackson Parkhurst; brothers Walter Gorski and William Gorski; sisters Mary Brennan and Brenda Gour. Family services will be at a later date.
There has never been nor will there ever be anyone quite like you, Puppie. You were everyone's favorite person to sit next to because you always had the best stories, funniest jokes, and a completely honest take on anything and everything. Yet, you still managed to somehow be the least judgemental person I've ever known. We have learned so much from you and are better people for having been a part of your family, those you loved most of all. Save me a seat next to you up there. Love you more than anything, forever and always, Your Kiki
Bon voyage.
"May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back."
