Virginian-Pilot  January 13, 1990
NORFOLK - Arthur Thomas Gormley Jr., retired vice president of Landmark 
Communications Inc., died Jan. 12, 1990, in a nursing home.  He was 66.
Mr. Gormley was born in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1923.  He graduated from Roosevelt 
High School in Des Moines in 1941.  Before entering the armed forces in 1943, 
Gormley attended Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, N.H.
He attended Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wis., and graduated from the 
College of Industrial Relations at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y.
He also attended the Southern Methodist Law School for 1 1/2 years and completed 
the Advanced Management Program at the Harvard Business School in 1962.
Mr. Gormley was in charge of production at The Dallas Morning News for two years, 
beginning in 1952.  In 1957, at age 33, he joined Landmark Communications as 
assistant vice president for production and labor relations. "He made a real 
contribution in the area of personnel and personnel relations in the production 
department," said Carl W. Mangum, president of The Virginian-Pilot and The Ledger-
Star.
"Art was the guiding hand in the start-up of our new printing facility in Virginia 
Beach," Mangum said. "The new facility added flexibility that we had not had 
before in zoning and serving the market.  Art provided much of the energy and 
input to make that possible."
Frank Batten, chairman of the board of Landmark Communications, said, "Art Gormley 
was a committed newspaperman who had a quick temper when we didn't print the 
newspaper well.  He was a steadfast friend and I'll always remember his loyalty to 
the people he worked with."
Survivors include his wife, Carole M. Gormley; four daughters, Karen Louise 
Sanford and Julia Marie Gormley, both of Norfolk, Elizabeth Anne Borysewicz of 
Richmond and Mary Martina Overton of Franklin; three sons, Arthur T. Gormley III, 
of Richmond, Daniel Cummins Gormley, of Richmond, and Stephen David Gormley, of 
Virginia Beach; and three brothers, Paul Gormley, of Fairfield, Conn., Donald W. 
Gormley, of Spokane, Wash., and John Paul Gormley, of Elizabeth, Ill.
Funeral arrangements are pending.  H. D. Oliver Funeral Apartments, Norfolk, is 
handling arrangements.
