Mom and I only learned of Dorm’s passing yesterday through a mutual friend and neighbor. We were very sad to hear this news.
I have many memories of Dorm while growing up on Tobin Crescent and, of course, at St. Augustine’s Church. He was a devoted volunteer and such a kind man.
Rise, you were both such good friends and neighbors to Mom all those years on Tobin Crescent. It was and is greatly appreciated.
May you find peace in the love of family and strength in the caring words of friends.
With deepest sympathy,
Stephanie
