My condolences to the family of Dr. Dorchak. He was one of the Drs. That I most respected in his field. I remember this big and tall man who was so sweet. Even when I had to page them in the middle of the night when I was a Ward Clerk(Unit Secretary in the late 70's. These were the ones I trusted and respected most. He will be missed. I know he will sit around the throne with others MD's waiting on his beeper to go off. :) God Bless and take care.

To all of Daddy D's family, I am so sorry for your loss. He was so kind and such a great Dr. I worked with him at SRMC and at Mary Black Hospital and he was like the father I never had.He only came to Mary Black on Friday afternoon's and we would sit and talk. I can see him now walking very slow, with his head down and carrying his lab coat over his shoulder every time he left. He will be terribly missed by sooo many people! My heart goes out to all of you,God Bless.

Daddy D was such a joy to work with. I will never forget him and how funny he was. He would repeat all of our names over and over in the cath lab so he wouldn't forget who he was working with on a particular day :)
