Dorsey Family, please know that Don was a special person in our home. He treated me as if I were his biological son and loved my sisters and mother with all his heart. I will truly miss him, our talks, Family Guy and Scrabble time, and his priceless reaction to seeing "Dracula" at Actors with us. I would have been honored for him to be my Step-dad! My entire family and I love and miss him! May his family be uplifted by knowing how loved he was!
God Bless,
