My condolences to the family. I knew Mr. Dormady from his advocacy and support for his kids throughout their time in school. If his kids had a game or event, he was right there cheering them on. RIP Mr. Dormady

I send my deepest condolences to the Don Dormandy Family. I worked with Don at Haliburton in Cut Bank, MT. I always appreciated his work ethic, humor, and joy of life. Last time we met was in the Salt Lake City Airport. Both rushed for plane departures we only got to briefly chat. Seemed he really had found a permanent home there in Alaska. A very good man I am grateful he was a part of my life. May your God Bless You!
With Heartfelt Love,
