I am sorry to learn of the loss of your loved one, Dorman. I knew him at SWTSC. When I think of him, I always visualize the "Paul Newman" jaw and I see that it was still very apparent; I hope he passed on this beautiful trait to his children and grandchildren. I am so thankful to know that we will all see him again along with our Lord and Savior!

Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of your beloved. There are never any right words to express how deeply sad I am for the pain your family is enduring at this difficult time.

As Chair of the Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Military Installations, I am sincerely thankful for his valiant service in defense of our rights and freedom.

His commitment to family, friends, our community, and to serving our great nation leaves a wonderful legacy. May the love and the wonderful memories you shared with him help you when you need it most. He will never be forgotten, and your family will be remembered in my prayers.

Sharla and Jason,
We have many fond memories of your Dad. Most of them involved the years we spent at NW Hills UMC. Your Dad always made us laugh. God bless you all.
