My name is Heron Barbosa,and I was a young chef at the Sherborn Inn back in the early 90s. And Dr Sortor also was my Dentist. He was a very good man to us(Brazilians) I did respected Him a lot for that. He is to call me free spirit.He always show so much love to His family,specially for Rosemary,and of course to the Inn. I'm going to miss Him.

I just learned of Dr Sortor's passing and Bob and I extend our deepest condolences to you, Rosemary and your family. I worked with Dr Sortor and even babysat your children once or twice. I loved working with him, Drs Nathanson, Smith & Leaman as they were the best group to work for.
I found out a few years ago that he was part owner of the Sherborn Inn, which I have gone to for years and tried to get in touch with him but for some reason we could not connect. He was a wonderful man and will be missed.
Thinking of you and your family.

I only just heard about Dr. Sortor's passing. I was very fortunate to have spent a great deal of time at the Sortor's home during my childhood and I have wonderful memories of the entire Sortor family. To this day, I consider David to be one of the finest men I have ever had the privilege of knowing. I always looked up to him as an example of how to live one's life. His heart was outsized and his love of life was truly infectious. My deepest sympathy to Rosemary, Debbie, John and Sue.

My mother, Eisey, as Dr. S would call her, worked with him for many years at OSA. They were super close and I have comfort that they are laughing again. Dr. Sortor was truly one of a kind. He was the most genuine person who always gave you his time, friendship and always lots of laughs. I also enjoyed working with Dr. S at OSA and the Sherborn Inn. They were the best times! Lots of love, Cherie

Dr. Sortor was easily one of the kindest men I have ever met. His sense of community and always wanting to help his fellow man is to be admired. I will miss him.

To the Sortor family and especially to Rosemary, Sue and Bill and their children whom we know from Pilgrim Church days. We are very sad to hear about Dave. I'm sure you all miss him very much. He was always so kind to us at church and around the community. He seemed to take everything in stride. He was so warm and we always just loved seeing him. He loved Pilgrim Church and the town of Sherborn. He exuded love for his family. Dave had the rare quality of being upbeat and friendly while he also had depth and the ability to connect with everyone. We hope and pray that he is in the presence of Ken Powell now. Two wonderful men whom we will never forget. Love, Lisa and Steve Jenks

So sorry to hear of Dr. Sortor's passing. Always remember how he would take the time to stop and ask how I was doing, how my family was doing every time I would come home for a visit. I also remember how he called the morning after removing all 4 of my wisdom teeth to see how I was doing. A special man whose kindness will be missed.

I grew up seeing Dr. Sortor every weekend at Pilgrim Church. No matter how old I was he always smiled, shook my hand and asked how I was. He even helped me sneak into the bell "closet" to ring the church bell a few times. I know he will be missed.
