Not sure what to say?

I remember him delivering me in Nov of 1857. Yes, I know it sounds insane, but he was told this when I was 4 or 5 when my mother was sitting with me in his office. He looked surprised but it was true.

We had the great pleasure of meeting Dr John through our daughter Sheridan who was a Child Life Specialist at St Jude where John volunteered in her area. My husband golfed with him on several occasions and he even took us to the clubhouse and insisted we have Brady Alexander´s after our dinner. Fabulous man.

Your father, Dr. John, as I knew him was a very special man. I worked as a child life specialist at St Jude from 2003-2006 and during that time he was one of my very favorite volunteers on my unit. John's cheerful demeanor, sense of humor, and bright smile always brightened the children's day. He was a true master at calming restless infants. It truly made my day when I would see his smiling face walk through the door. We talked about golf and the military ( I'm an Army brat) often and he...

Your dad helped so many people in his lifetime combat the unexpected changes in life and health. He served in the armed services. He always approached people with a gentleness. He has a special place in heaven. He has a beautiful family to carry on his legacy. And....... He lived an amazing, interesting and long life. He meant a lot to many people.

So sorry to hear of Dr. Dorian's passing away, he was a wonder doctor for our family, for the years we lived in Frayser. He will be long remembered and blessings for the family.

Dr. Dorian was our family doctor in Frayser. He was the doctor I saw and told me I was pregnant 1980. I last saw hi. At our mothers funeral I. 2019. He was a wonderful man. Our prayers are with our family

Dr. Dorian our doctor when we lived in Frayser. He was still our doctor when we moved out to Shelby Forest in 1968. I remember him as a very calm and soft spoken man. Even tho I hadn´t seen Dr. Dorian in many years, I thought of him every so often and I thought of him yesterday and decided to look him up today. I´m sorry to see that he passed away. But reading his obituary, he definitely had a very full life and with that he lived to be 95 yrs old. I always loved him (except when he gave...

My condolences go out to the family of Dr Dorian. So sorry for your loss.

To the Dorian children: I was your neighbor and babysitter. I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad was a wonderful man and true humanitarian.
