July 15, 1940 — October 13, 2018

Alan B. Gorham age 78, passed away Saturday, October 13th, 2018 in his home in Arvada, Colorado. He was born on July 15th, 1940 in Westport, Connecticut to Burton and Shirley (Ackerly) Gorham. Alan served in the United States Army. He married Kathy Capra on November 30th, 1979 in Denver, Colorado.

Alan retired as the Regional Sales Manager from Mountain State Ford in 2006 after a long career in Auto Sales/Management.

His hobbies included traveling (he took his grand kids to Disney World 7 times), cars, baseball (avid Colorado Rockies fan), food and most importantly his grand kids (Allie, Cody and Logan). You would normally find Alan either traveling the world with his wife Kathy (Italy, Turkey, Greece, Hawaii, Egypt, Panama Canal), spending time at his daughter Nikki's house indulging in her gourmet meals, finding the best local eateries with his son Neil, or spending time with his grandkids at the museum or the zoo.
