We lived caddy corner across the street from Dorn and we always found him to be a wonderful and kind man.  He helped us when we first moved here and in time we hope we repaid his kindness when he was in need.  We only have good memories of him and how much he did for us.  It was a pleasure to drive past and always have him wave to us and remember the kids at the holidays.  We are very sorry for your loss – he will be missed.

When we moved to Northview Dr, we had been in the house all of 10 minutes when Dorn had walked across the street to our house and was knocking on the door to introduce himself.  Over the last 3 years we received kind supervision and advice on our outdoor/yard projects. He enjoyed a good chuckle with us at the obvious failure of one of our projects! We exchanged trick or treat candies, joking we were all a bit too old to be doing such.   We marveled at Dorn’s riding his riding mower backwards down his backyard hill-in his 80’s!  We also heard of his great love for his wife and the heartbreak of the suddenness of her illness and passing.  He laughed about how she wanted to raise tropical fish in the basement but he did most of the caring for them.  He talked about her love for cats and breeding them, and shared many other anecdotes of his youth in Lewistown, service in Alaska, being a mechanic, and building a home next to the in laws; one of the first homes on Blossom Hill. Dorn credited his wife for the best parts of his life, including "those boys of mine, they turned out good because of her."  We will miss Dorn sitting in his lawn chair getting a little sun in the driveway, and always having a friendly wave. Our condolences to the Claire family for the loss of such a wonderful, humble man.
