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!

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.

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
