Philip Dorn Obituary
Phil was born in New Kensington on July 25th, 1949, to the former Jim and Dorothy Dorn of Carlisle PA. He graduated from Rutgers with his Master of Business Administration and currently worked for the Enterprise Rental Car Company in his retired life. Formerly he was in the banking industry in which he was the VP of mortgage services and received numerous leadership & presidential club awards.
Phil was an avid Boston Red Sox fan and loved the game of baseball. He also enjoyed his regular Enterprise buddy breakfasts, trips to the beach, his new puppy Harper, weekly book reading, cooking, wood crafting, and traveling the world to include attending the Tour de France.
Phil is survived by his siblings, James Dorn of Carlisle, PA; Mary Johnston (Dorn) of State College, PA; a nephew, Alec Johnston of Denver, CO; and a niece Allison Johnston of State College, PA.
Memorials may be given to the American Heart Association, heart.org, a nonprofit organization of the United States that funds the medical research to fight heart disease. "Of adults who suffer cardiac arrest and are admitted to the hospital without a pulse, less than a quarter survive." Please wear red in his memory to support heart disease. It was also his favorite color!

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Phil. I just briefly met Phil when he got one of my puppies (Harper). He was a very nice gentleman and enjoyed sending me pictures of Harper. If I can help in any way please let me know.
