We regret to announce that John Montgomery Gorman MDS FDS FFD died on 18 November 2014.

John, born 12 October 1929, was a consultant in the Northern Ireland Plastic and Maxillo Facial Service. During his time as a Consultant Surgeon the 'Northern Ireland Troubles' were taking place and John was deeply involved in the restorative surgery for the unfortunate victims. In addition to his normal work, he undertook the role of lead clinician for Maxillo Facial Surgery, after the retirement of Roy Whitlock in 1983.

John was interested in yachting and rowing and he became captain of the Queen's University Rowing Club in the 1950-1951 season. In 1956 he married Jane and they had three children, Dermot, Lesley and Anne. Sadly, his wife Jane pre-deceased him in the year 2000.

John Gorman was a gentleman respected by his colleagues and friends. His skills and his caring personality will be missed by us all.
