It was a very sad day when we heard of Br. Doria's passing. He was such a loving and giving man. He was always willing to do what it took to keep our 1978 Volkswagen Bus running. He is truly missed.

Doria was always a wonderful friend to me and our family. My father would like to get his car serviced by him just to be able to visit with him.
I spent many, many hours in his shop. He was always the best.
Our condolences to all of the family.

To the Doria family. I am so very sorry for the loss of your father, Uncle, grandpa etc.
Itold was a great pleasure to have met him when he came into the office so I could help him report his sales taxes.
Wonderfull man, he'd laugh at my spanglish, especially when I mentioned the word "Pocha"
May the arms of the Lord and eachother wrap arms around each other.
I lost my Mom in December. I am sorry for the pain deep down inside your heart.
God Bless

To the Doria Family!
I met Mr Doria when I was working at Big A Auto Parts delivering parts to his shop. He was such a nice and respectable person. I was lucky enough to meet up with him again a few months ago and we talked about old times, his beautiful smile and great heart will truly be missed. May the Lord keep all of you in the palm of his hands at this difficult time.

There are so few comforting words when we need them most. Peace. Strength. Love. Solitude. Whatever you need at this moment is what we wish for the family. Dan is truly mourning.

A wonderful friend who told me what was right not what I wanted to hear. I had many experiences with him and probably the most memorable was when he said to me when are you going to straighten up, Frank? I believed him. From God's lips to his ear. A great man and a great friend. I would like to see you all but I cannot drive that far at this time. All my love.
