Donald J. Dorman, age 92, passed away peacefully on March 12, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Born on April 13, 1932, in Reading, he was the son of the late Charles and Margaret (Shannon) Dorman.

He is survived by his son, Donald Dorman Jr., and three daughters: Kathleen (Jack) Hannan, Eileen (the late John “Flea” Kilpatrick), and Lorraine (Richard) Lafiata. He was a beloved grandfather to Christopher, Phillip, Stephanie, Michael, Richard, and Brandon, and a cherished great-grandfather to Blake, Reese, Daniel, Declan, and Kennedy. He is also survived by his sisters, Lorraine Chesser, Nancy Clark, and Sheila Catagnus. He was predeceased by his sister, Dawn Barone.
