Gordon S. Lorentz 111.
August 22, 1942 – April 11, 2022
Obituary
On Monday, April 11, 2022 at 12:34 AM, after fighting a long battle with Parkinson’s Disease, Gordon went to join his Heavenly Father. He passed peacefully in his sleep at the Colonial Nursing Home in Crown Point, IN. He was 79 years old. Gordon was born in Wilmington, Delaware on August 22, 1942. He was the third child of Gordon S. Lorentz, Jr. and Dorothy Lorentz.

After his parents divorce, his mother, Dorothy was left to raise three children on her own. He was closest to his sister Barbara whom is now deceased. He always spoke very fondly of his maternal grandparents who resided in Mount Dora, Florida. His grandfather taught him to fish.

Gordon was quite active at Westmoreland, Pennsylvania High School (graduated 1960). He was in the Honor Society, Key Club, and enjoyed football, golf & wrestling. He seemed to be popular with the girls according to the writings in his yearbook. He worked at a local soft serve ice cream shop and often demonstrated to his children the talent associated with getting the proper “twirl” on the cone.

After his high school years he attended The Pennsylvania State University – Yes!! Home of his Beloved Nittany Lions! Boy!! He was a forever fan! Graduated from Penn State on December 12, 1964. While in college Gordon was a member of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity. To his pride, his son, Steven, also was a legacy pledge at the same Fraternity at Purdue.

He married Marsha and had two children, William & Timothy. He worked for Marriott Corporation after graduation which transferred him to many venues including managing a cafeteria in The Smithsonian Institution. He always had great memories of working at The Smithsonian; he said he often took different routes within the building on his way to the cafe just to explore some of the exciting exhibits the building had to offer. On one of his several transfers with the Marriott corporation, Gordon ended up in Indiana, living in Griffith and running the cafeteria in River Oaks Center.

Gordon decided to leave Marriott and go to work for Merrillville Community School Corporation, where he spent the next 33 years of his career starting as Food Service Director. In 1980 he was the President of Indiana School Food Service Association. At the end of his career he was an administrator with the Merrillville Community School Corporation as the Director of Maintenance Services. Upon retirement in 2004, he formed his own company and worked for as a consultant for the same school corporation.

Other philanthropy activities included being involved with the Merrillville Kiwanis club (President in the 1983/1984 year and the 1995/1996 year, Secretary/Treasurer in the 1984/1985 year as well as a officer of the Inter-club council. After retiring Gordon volunteered his time and services as the Treasurer for the Crown Point Sheriff’s House Foundation. He also was there when the filming of Public Enemy was done in 20 – yep – he met Johnny Depp!

He was always a busy guy, even running the Chicago Marathon twice (once with his son Bill). Gordon was an avid golfer, enjoyed his golf league and loved playing in outings.

Gordon was very involved with the First United Methodist Church in Crown Point. He was on many committees, Staff Parish, Trustees, Administrative Board and Family Ministries, many of which he served as Chairperson. He loved attending and cooking for several of the church activities & knew his way around the kitchen, especially the “dish machine” as he would call it.

In 1989 he married his current wife, Nancy, with whom he raised two children, Erin Quinn, Nancy’s daughter, and their child together, Steven Lorentz. Gordon was a wonderful father who spent many hours attending softball, baseball, football, soccer, wrestling, Boy Scouts, Indian Guides (in which he also was involved with his son Bill), gymnastics, and cheerleading. He also tried to instill a love for music in his children. The family vacationed several times a year and created unforgettable memories.

Gordon was preceded in death by his mother, Dorothy; his sister, Barbara Middlestead; Brother-in-law, Grant Middlestead; a devastating loss of his son, Timmy, at six years old; and Nancy’s parents, Jim & Barbara Hoffman, with whom he was very close.

Gordon is survived by his wife of 33 years, Nancy; sons, Bill (Meghan) Lorentz, Steven Lorentz and daughter, Erin Hooton; grandchildren Piper & Tatum Lorentz, Gunnar and Brinley Hooton; sister-in-law, Diana (Mike) Waisnora; brother-in law, Jim (Janet) Hoffman and brother-in-law, Bob (Mary) Hoffman and many nieces and nephews.

Gordon generously donated his body to the Anatomical Education Program at Indiana University School of Medicine. This gift will contribute significantly to the advancement of health science education in the state of Indiana. Those, like Gordon, who decide to bequeath their bodies to the health sciences have made a significant contribution that benefits the quality of life and care for the living.

A memorial service will be on Monday, April 25, 2022, at First United Methodist Church, 352 S. Main St. in Crown Point, Indiana. 

Visitation: 10:00 a.m.

Comments from Fraternity Brothers: 

Richard Mascaro: 

This is another sad day in our chapter annals. 

I had the good fortune to know Gary as well as his older brother Rocco. Affectionately know as Big Bede who graduated around 65. 

The two guys had a wonderful mom who would send a care package of homemade cookies each individually wrapped in wax paper. That package was like gold. 

Gary was very quiet guy as opposed to his older brother who roared when he laughed. 

Rocco died an untimely death at a pretty young age. He was living in Pittsburgh at the time. 

The loss now of both Agostini brothers is a big loss to the chapter. 

Ike and Harvey I know this is very tough news for you guys since you spent so much time together. He was a great guy and will be missed. 

RIP GARY 

Rich Mascaro 

AEKDB 

Harvey Thompson: 

I am saddened to share the news of Gary Agostini’s passing on 8/28/22, following a brief illness, and celebrate his life. 

Gary was my and George Strachan’s (Ike’s) great roommate at Kappa Sigma, Penn State, and was Ike’s big brother. Gary and his wife Bernadine (known to all as “Bernie”) met at Penn State and had 2 wonderful sons, one of whom predeceased him, and two grandchildren. 

Gary taught high school biology at Great Valley High School for decades and many of his former students commented on how Gary influenced their lives on the funeral home website below. The website also contains obituary/info /place to offer condolences, etc. 

Gary was a gentle man, and always a gentleman. When asked how she met Gary, Bernie said, “During Gary’s first term at main (PSU) campus, Ned Krosglund’s pinmate, Zoey, was my next door neighbor in the dorm. Gary didn’t really know anyone yet and needed a date for a formal. So she set us up on a blind date and the rest is history.” GARY AND BERNIE WERE MARRIED FOR OVER 53 YEARS! The first time I saw them together, holding hands in the party room, I knew it was long-term love affair. 

It is no secret that being part of a group like Kappa Sigma is impactful throughout the remainder of our lives. We have heard from our brothers about the influence that the Alpha-Delta Chapter has had on our futures, but what happens when we give back? This is what your brothers have to say about the benefits of giving back: 

“No donations means the total decline and disappearance of KS forever – that does not seem like a good option!” – Richard (Wally) Armstrong ’81

He gives back because Kappa Sigma was such a big part of his life. “My best memories of Penn State were with my brothers.” – Bill “Turtle” Murdoch ’73

 

Richard (Wally) Armstrong ’81 (workra@yahoo.com) was a junior and a transfer when he pledged to Kappa Sigma, but he felt no less integrated and at home with his brothers in the house. Here’s a look into his time at Kappa Sigma and why he gives back. 

“I was a transfer student from Ogontz now known as PS Abington,” said Armstrong, “so I was in my junior year looking at fraternities. Kappa Sigma did not seem to mind and it was easy to feel a part of the organization.” 

“The house at that time was large and more modern than most. You could drive a small car down the hallways (and rumor had it that a VW bug may have tried).” 

One of Armstrong’s best memories was a project that forged friendships and a handy house feature. “Our pledge class was one of the largest at the time and we added the Not So Portable bar to the house – it remained for a long time, weighed a ton, and provided much enjoyment. With over two hundred and fifty screws, two-by-four and plywood construction mostly donated by a local construction project, it took many hours of construction and many days of complaining about how heavy it was to move.” 

“All that said – the parties, the tailgates, the swims at the quarry, the late nights on a couch, the food – okay, maybe not the food, but it was life with little care and the time to enjoy just being young (and stupid)!” 

His time at Kappa Sigma gave him “leadership roles and interaction with a cross-section of people” as well as “a reason to explore towers in Italy shortly after graduation while stationed in Germany.” 

Armstrong gives back because he wants to use his position to support the place that means so much to him.“You never know how your actions may affect others, but they do in good and bad ways. We hope and pray our actions always provide positive outcomes. I like to think contributing is a good thing and I am glad to be in a position to do it (much better than when attending and hardly being able to buy a beer at the corner room)!” 

“No donations means the total decline and disappearance of KS forever – that does not seem like a good option!” 

Without Kappa Sigma, I wouldn’t know the people I know, have the memories I have, touched who I touched, or impacted someone else. 

With summer getting into full swing, it’s giving us flashbacks of summer during our Kappa Sigma days. Do you remember the most popular songs that were on EVERY playlist at parties? Don’t worry, we got you!  Continue reading “Kappa Sigma Summer Playlist by Decade ”

 

Alumni support is the heart and soul of our fraternity, giving our active chapter a strong foundation and reminding our alumni volunteers that their efforts are paramount. Your gifts make an impact – fueling our commitment as volunteers and setting an important example for our alumni brotherhood. If you haven’t donated yet this year, would you consider giving today?

James O. “Jim” Trainer Jr, DMD, loving husband, father and Pappap, passed away February 16, 2022 due to complications from Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy (CAA) in Miami, Florida at the age of 70. He was the beloved husband of Patricia M. “Pat” Trainer, with whom he shared 43 years of marriage. Born in 1952 in Indiana, PA, he was the son of the late James O. Trainer Sr and Mary Emma Trainer. Jim graduated in 1973 from Penn State University (Kappa Sigma) and 1977 from the University of Pittsburgh Dental School. During his career, he achieved Master of the Academy of General Dentistry and served for the Harrisburg Area Dental Association as both Chairman of the Program Committee and President. He was an active member of Mt. Calvary Episcopal Church, Camp Hill where he served as Treasurer and vestry member. He practiced general dentistry in Etters, PA from 1980 to 2017, when he was forced to retire after a stroke caused by CAA. Jim was respected and loved by all who knew him and was known for his gentle, patient and kind manner. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his beloved sister, Mary Susan Zitelli. He is survived by his wife, Pat, his two children, Rebecca (Rick) Yellets of Lititz and Brian (Robyn) Trainer, their children Owen and Evelyn of San Angelo, TX, his sister Jamie (Barry) Huett of Allentown and his mother-in-law Elsie von Jess of Mechanicsburg. He is also survived by numerous other extended family members.

Dear Brothers,

Unfortunately, I again start this letter on a sad note. James O. Trainer (1973) passed away on February 16, 2022. He was affectionately known as “Pie” by his close Alpha Delta brothers. Please see the attached article with pictures (old & new) and Jim’s obituary.

We have a nice article from Brother Rodd McDanel (1977). He reminiscences about his positive experiences with Alpha-Delta and his times as an active brother at Penn State. Equally important is Rodd’s acknowledgment of how his fraternity experience at Penn State provide him valuable lessons throughout life. Thanks for sharing, Rodd!

The current THON is behind us now, with a record-breaking total donation. Brother Jim France (1982) provides a nice trip down memory lane with his experiences as a dancer in the IFC Dance Marathon in 1980, now called THON. Many people do not realize that THON (largest student run philanthropy in the world) was created from Penn State Greek Life! Thanks Jim!

As you all know, our Alumni Corporation directors are all volunteers. We do this to keep Alpha-Delta connected, something that is needed now more than ever. Our newsletters and other communications, which we have been able to provide continuously for over 50 years, are solely funded through generous Alumni donations. This annual program and other corporate expenses continue to exist regardless of the Active Chapter status.

To date, our annual fundraising campaign is far below our target levels. We thank those who have already contributed to our campaign. If you have not already done so, please consider a donation, at any level, so that we can continue to provide quality communications for you, our esteemed Alumni. All donations are greatly appreciated.

Finally, as you read this newsletter, keep in mind that our Alumni updates are very popular. Why not take a moment to send in a short update (pictures make updates even better) to let your brothers see what you have been up to. Make sure we also have your current email address and contact information.

Looking forward to a nice warm spring & summer!

AEKDB,

Ed Gorkes

President

We hear it time and time again when we talk to brothers  about Kappa Sigma, without the Alpha-Delta chapter many of you would not be where you are today if you had not been a part of this brotherhood. Read on to hear what two of your brothers  had to say on the impact Kappa Sigma had in their lives. 

 

“No doubt, the biggest influence was the opportunity to take on leadership roles at a young age which served me well when it came time to join the business world.” – R. Brad Lawrence ‘69

“Right after graduation, I was interviewed by two men who were Kappa Sigma brothers from Washington and Jefferson, and Dartmouth. They worked at Alcan Cable in Williamsport, PA. The fraternal association that we had was certainly a factor that allowed me to meet these men. I was hired, too!” – Rodd McDanel ‘77

 

CLICK HERE and tell us the impact Kappa Sigma left on you to this day! 

Why did you join Kappa Sigma? That’s a question we recently asked some alumni, and they delivered! Hear the reasons that Kappa Sigma housebecame a home away from home … and would go on to impact the rest of their lives.  

“There was a very robust social energy there and a serious group of officers and alumni who put strong value on the local Penn State chapter and historical origins of Kappa Sigma.” – Rodd McDanel ‘77

“There was such an openness to a diverse group of young men from all walks of life. It didn’t seem to matter if rich or poor or your background or academic credentials. All seemed to be welcome.” – R Brad Lawrence ‘69

R. Brad Lawrence ‘69 (rblaw07@gmail.com) says that he decided to join Kappa Sigma because he found the group to be “a diverse group of young men who enjoyed the college experience. They had a nice mix of fun and responsibility.”

He says that he quickly knew that he’d made the right decision. “There was such an openness to a diverse group of young men from all walks of life,” he remembers. “It didn’t seem to matter if rich or poor or your background or academic credentials. All seemed to be welcome.”

He says that his best memories of the house were “opportunity to serve the entire fraternity system as a member of the campus wide IFC (Interfraternity Council) and involvement in Spring Week festivities.”

Lawrence says that Kappa Sigma made an impact on his life long after graduation. “No doubt, the biggest influence was the opportunity to take on leadership roles at a young age which served me well when it came time to join the business world.”

Today, giving back is important to him. “I appreciate the positive contribution my time as a Kappa Sigma member made during the very formative college years. I enjoy demonstrating my loyalty and appreciation by paying it forward.”

“The future of Alpha Delta Kappa Sigma is uncertain. A fiscally strong organization gives us the best opportunity to revive the chapter at Penn State and create a legacy for future members.”

“I hope all the Alpha Delta alumni will be motivated to join a capital campaign to build a first-class facility that will rejuvenate the chapter in State College.”

Without Kappa Sigma, I wouldn’t have enjoyed the degree of business success or made close friends (brothers) with so many outstanding citizens.

We want to keep each of you in touch with your brothers from your decade, but we need your help! We have some brothers who we have lost touch with over the years, and you can help us get back in contact. 

 

Find which brothers from your decade who we have lost touch with throughout the years HERE. See someone you know? It is easy to update us! Just click their name and send us their email address. 

 

Thank you to those of you who wrote in with contact information when last we asked; we need to bring everyone back to our alumni communications. No brother should be left behind! 

When Rodd McDanel ‘77 (roddmcdanel@yahoo.com) pledged to Kappa Sigma, he found “a very robust social energy there and a serious group of officers and alumni who put strong value on the local Penn State chapter and historical origins of Kappa Sigma.” 

He says that belonging to that group of brothers led to some of his best memories: pledging, the spring luau, homecoming, meeting with alumni and summer jobs.  

“Kappa Sig was also a very popular house to have bands playing “jammies” with one or two other fraternities,” he adds. 

He says that Kappa Sigma’s impact continued to be felt after his time at Penn State. “Right after graduation, I was interviewed by two men who were Kappa Sigma brothers from Washington and Jefferson, and Dartmouth. They worked at Alcan Cable in Williamsport, PA. The fraternal association that we had was certainly a factor that allowed me to meet these men. I was hired, too!” 

He says that giving back to Kapp Sigma is critical. “I feel that young men growing up and attending university at Penn State have a wonderful opportunity to mature with good morals and make lifelong bonds. Kappa Sigma was, and is, a fine fraternity that helps tremendously in guiding young men along these early pathways.” 

“Every Kappa Sigma generation that has come before us has seeded and helped those generations that follow, including ourselves. So we ought to trust and believe that our actions as predecessor generations will do the same as what was done for us as undergraduates.” 

“The Kappa Sigma brotherhood was very valuable to me in my maturing, more so that I realized at the time,” he says. “There were many fun times and loads of laughter, but the most lasting ties are the bonds. As brothers in heart through life we see how much this really means in the later years of life. 

Without Kappa Sigma, I wouldn’t have had a stabilizing association of brothers who so positively contributed to my early collegiate experiences.
