Dorothy was an angel on this earth. I had the privilege of working alongside Dorothy at BOCES. Everyone who came in contact with Dorothy adored her. Rest in peace, my friend.

Will always treasure our High School days and then our first job at the same company. Would also see Stan now & then at Ford since I worked in the offices. RIP, will always have wonderful memories of "the good old days."
