God bless Coach Dorman. I'm fortunate that I was coached by him in Cross-Country at Central. Have nothing but warm memories and kind words about a really cool and gentle man.

I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. DORMANN was a wonderful person.

As my brother Terry wrote below, the Dormann family were our neighbors for a while--way back when. I think that was even before I used to play on Dormann´s softball team. So, we have known them for a very long time. More recently, I have been so thankful for the years my Class of 1963 and I have been able to spend with both John and Merry Lee at our monthly Lunch Bunch get togethers. While neither one of you was from our class, you´ve always been part of our CUHS family and we loved...

MR. Dormann was my history teacher at central. But also my back door neighbor. He always has had my utmost respect. Thanks to his family for sharing him with me. Terry Craig

Mr. Dorman was one of my favorite teachers at CUHS. He was also a friend of my parents, and had known my mom when they were young. He shared several stories of her, stories she had never told us! Just a few years ago he called just before Christmas, totally out of the blue. My brothers and I happened to be together. We had a wonderful conversation! A conversation I will always cherish! I´m sad that in this world we will no longer have him with us. But I know there is a merry reunion on the...

Dear Mrs. Dormann and family my heart is saddened to hear the sad news of Mr.Dormann´s passing. Your family has and will always be truly special to the Lavender family. I had been thinking of you both actually on the same day of his passing not knowing that he had passed away on that day. I had planned on emailing him because I had some news to share with him. Mrs. Dormann , thank you for always being there when I reached out to you both sharing the good and sad news about our family. Coming...

Merry Lee, you and John were together 70 years. Wow! What a legacy. RIP John.

My condolences to the Dormann Family. May Faith assuage the sorrow of John's passing. May the sweet memories of a Lifetime endure in your hearts until you as a Family hug in eternal Realms. He was my 7th & 8th Teacher at Wilson Jr High; 58-59 & 59-60. He was a gentle caring human being. i attempted to follow in His footsteps on the CHUSD Board of Trustees ,when stepped down after his years of service. He set a a high standard of excellence. It was a pleasure to have known him

John Dorman was a great inspiration to my life. A great teacher and a man that cared about others. Spent some great summers at Live Oak Springs campground with him and his family. A great example of a real man. Carrie Lee , I´m sorry for your loss. Jim
