Not sure what to say?

He was always a " gentle" man , soft spoken and when he spoke to you , you felt his sincere interest and got his total attention!

Bishop Dorsey always had a smile and a good word for me as a younger Priest just having arrived in Miami! He invited me to lunch one day and we had the best of conversations and I was so at ease I almost forgot that I was talking to a Bishop! Forever Remembered! Thank you, Bishop Dorsey!!!

Bishop Dorsey was a fine man. I always referred to him as, " M'Lord Bishop" in the English fashion.

Christ was number one and music was number two....with fond memories of your time in Farmington....Hope to see you again....peace

Remembering a wonderful man, magnificient spiritual leader and his loving, caring family...MaryLou Newton & Kathy Newton Sowa

Remembering with love, a gentle man who never lost his boyish enthusiasm, and who truly found his calling in life and enjoyed it to the end...he was at his very best when at the altar, saying mass, and his whole heart and soul went into it, and he wouldn't have been anywhere else...a beautiful soul...

Old friend from West Springfield. May he enjoy his well deserved rest in Christ. Helen Siragusa

Rest in the arms of the Lord in peace, dear Bishop. You will be in my heart forever! You were kind and compasionate, and a great spiritual leader for our diocese.
