Patrolman Gorman, it's now been 62 years since your murder. I can only hope that true justice came for your murderer, if not in this world, then in the next.

God Bless you, Brother and may your eternal rest be ever peaceful.

We had the honor of having Officer Gorman’s son lay a wreath with other family and members of the Department present to mark the 60th Anniversary this morning. We will remember.

To Officer Gorman and his family. Please know that 59 years after your sacrifice, you are still remembered. My dad served with you but we are not related though we share the same last name, I hope that your family is well even though you father was so heinously taken from them. RIP forever.

Officer Gorman, it's now been 58 years since your sacrifice. It's an honor to work beside the men and women of the Cambridge Police. How tragic that you did not have a long distinguished career.

God Bless you and may your eternal rest remain ever peaceful, Brother.

Sir, the Cambridge Police have moved to a new location and station. The new building gives our department the opportunity to diplay the picture that your wife had, graciously, given me. This picture of you, in uniform, will be diplayed at the new police station. Your bravery and sacrifice will not be forgotten. You are in my prayers, and I wish you and your family peace.

Leo and I well remember your murder. Leo mentioned you just the other day. I remember seeing bullet "holes" at the Kendall T station entry which Dad pointed out happened when they gunned you down. i think we even have a mimeograph sheet honoring you and perhaps it recites the Policeman's Prayer to St. Michael. You will never truly be gone.

Patrolman Gorman, as a Harvard University Police Officer, I interact with the men and women of the Cambridge Police on a daily basis. It’s a professional and highly respected agency. That professionalism is reflected in the way our departments work so well together.

Your heroism on that night in Kendall Square is an example of what the CPD brings to the streets every day. On this 46th anniversary of your murder, I salute you and thank you for all the effort you put forth to make that city a bit safer.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.
