Dennis Doran Obituary
Dennis worked as a lineman/working foreman for Public Service of NH in their Milford, NH work center for 40 years. He had an unrivaled work ethic and loved his job. He made many lifelong friends at PSNH and took pride in the work that he did there. Outside of work he enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, golfing, fishing, kayaking, traveling, and eating cookies.
Dennis was a kind and thoughtful soul who will be missed by many. His easy-going attitude and sense of humor made him easy to love. His brothers describe him as a mentor and friend who was a great listener and quick to help anyone in need. His family hopes he is walking the beaches with his loyal companion, Zulu, and being greeted by family and friends who have passed before him. We are heartbroken that he has left us but relieved that he is now at peace.
Dennis is survived by his wife, Cheryl Doran, his daughters Deanna Doran (Scott Hudon), Darcy Conway (Jamie Conway) Jodi Craine (Ari Craine), three grandchildren; Owen Conway, Lola Craine and Miles Craine, his brothers David Doran (Diane Doran), Daryl Doran (Jeanne Doran) and Dale Doran (Donna Doran), his sisters Dawn Doran and Drusilla Gamlin (Dan Gamlin) and many nieces and nephews. Dennis was predeceased by his daughter Jennifer Kimball and sister Darlene Crooker (Dennis Crooker).
A Celebration of Life will be held later this year.
