Daniel Dorwart Obituary

I knew your family as I was good friends several years back with Sara and Philip. Your father was a very kind man whom I remember well. I lost my own father very suddenly to cancer four years ago and know the pain that I'm sure you continue to suffer even in these months after your father's passing. Peace to your family.

I was so sorry to hear of his death. I am a good friend of Hanh's and have met Tao. My sympathy goes out to the entire family.

Dear Kathy and Family
I am so sorry to hear of Dan's unexpected death and am thinking of your family and remembering you in prayer. May God's holy graces bless you daily as you travel this grief journey - may all of your beautiful memories help to sustain you in the days and weeks ahead.

My family and I were your neighbors in Greentree many long years ago - and Philip was in my preschool class at Peppermint Fence. I had the pleasure of meeting him at his restaurant a couple of years ago - what a fine young man.

Kathy, take good care of yourself - I will continue to uphold you in prayer.

With deepest sympathies,

Bobbie (Holter) Keegan

I was so sad to learn of Dan's passing. My grandparents (Louis and Portia Jeffrey Bock) were friends of Doc Harry and Emmy; and my Aunt, Sandra Bock Kalajian (same HS class of 1950 w/Dan) and my Mother, Susan Bock Ingram all have many wonderful memories of the Dorwart family. My Grandfather Louie bought Dan a case of beer before he left for the Navy. Louie only had two daughters and spoke of Dan as the son he would have liked to have had. My heart goes out to you all. From the Louis Bock Family you are in our Prayers.

Dear Kathy and family:
Your loss is also felt by myself and my prayers are with all of you. The memories of Dan have been with me every day since I saw everyone at Holy Name. A very special man and friend. First met him in "67 and spent many hours with him at his little office in Wayzata and many breakfasts at Denny's over the years. Dan will always be remembered and appreciated by me.
Take care Kathy and God bless to all.

Dr. Dorwart, I read about your father's passing in the church bulletin today. I am very sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless. Barb Castleberry (a patient)

Kathy, Amy, MaryBeth, Sarah, Andy, Flip and Mike,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss. Dan will be remembered as a kind, loving man and great neighbor. I will always have fond memories of growing up next to the Dorwarts on Urbandale and the Christmas Eve and New Year's parties we shared. No matter where the Dickersons have lived, it's always a joy to stop in and see the Dorwarts. We'll miss your laugh, Dan.

Love,
Jann Dickerson

Dear Kathy, Sara and Flip, as well as the entire Dorwart Family:
I am so sorry to hear about Dan's passing. You all have been part of our family for so many years, and although it has been a few years since we were all boating, camping, grilling (Dan made the best burgers!), playing and sleeping over at each other's houses, it feels like yesterday. The memories I have of our families being together will be cherished for the rest of my life. The memories I have of Dan are of his smile and laugh and larger than life hugs! He will be missed. Love,

Kathy, Sara, Flip, and the Entire Dorwart Family,
I am so sad to hear about Dan's passing and so very sorry about your loss. I have the most wonderful memories of all the times our families spent together boating, or just at each other's houses. The 4th of July parties were fabulous too! It seems so much time has passed, yet those memories will stay forever! Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

Philip and family,

I am very sorry to hear about your loss. Although it has been a long time since I've talked to you, I have great memories of Dan from growing up. Heck, until I was 14 or 15 I was always over at your house and have wonderful memories of Dan taking us out boating and I even remember him hauling us around Baltimore and D.C. when you guys were living out there! He was a great guy. Philip, drop me a note at [email protected]

Kathy and Family:

I just learned about Dan's passing and feel so very sad not only for what his loss means to his family, but also for what it means to those of us in his extended family. There was a time when if we could not find our children, especially Reid, we knew they were at the Dorwart's. Time has marched on, but the wonderful memories of the times and affection our families shared remain as clear and intact as if it were only yesterday. (It could be that Carol and Dan are sharing some of the old stories as we speak.) All of us in the Johnson family will always treasure those times and memories and we wish God's special blessing on everyone in Dan's family.

Philip,

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

with love,

We are very sorry to hear about the loss of Dan. Over the years we did not always keep in touch with each other, but I certainly cherish the memories of the times spent in Lexington and at the lake. Dick and I will keep the entire family in our prayers now and especially at Easter. We pray that all of the wonderful things, loving words and deeds that Dan left behind will live forever within your hearts and menories. God bless you.
Love ,
Dick & BC (Dorwart) Mulholland

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

Fond memories of our times together as Boy Scout leaders.

Philip, Desiree, and the entire Dorwart Family-

My deepest sympathy for your loss. I was fortunate to know Dan through my friendship with Desiree' and Philip. I know you are all experiencing heartache and sadness. I will keep you in my thoughts. Love-Victoria

As a young child Dan was one of those cousins you always looked up to. Always great and fun to the younger cousins. We lost contact over the years but he when together he was always a blast from the past and wonderful to be with and WOW could he remember great family stories.

Best to you all and he will remain in our prayers.

Peace

Kathy:

Please accept our sympathy for your family's loss. It was great to see you and Dan over the years in Sidney and the few times we made it to Minneapolis. We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Sara and Family -

I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad, my heart goes out to all of you. I know you all have many fond memories that will help you through this time.

I regret that I am out of town and won't be able to attend his service but you will all be close in thoughts and prayers.

To the Dorwart Family:

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Dan as an adult actively involved in Scout troop 283 where I was a scout with Andy and Mike. He was a good man and a very positive influence on all of us.

I pray for peace for your family in the knowledge that he's now in the arms of his loving Father.

Sara and Family,
I am so sorry about the loss of your dad. May the many memories and life lessons he taught you be with you for the rest of your lives. Take care of each other and you will all be in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Philip,

I am very sorry for your loss.

Words are always insufficient. I hope there is a heaven so the good people will live on with eternal happiness.

Sara,
My heart goes out to you during this time of sadness. Please know that I am keeping you and your family in my prayer. This was one of my sister's favorite poems and hope it will bring you comfort in the days to come.
Afterglow
I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one,
I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when day is gone.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times, and laughing times, and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun,
Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

Remember I'm here if you need someone to lean on.

Sara;
I am so very sorry for your loss. I know your Dad held a special place in your heart. The following is a poem that my sister loved, I hope it becomes special for you also:
Afterglow
I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one,
I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when day is gone.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun,
Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

You and your family are in my prayers.

I am writing to extend my deepest sympathies to Kathy and the Dorwart family. I was very sad to hear about Dan.

He was a wonderful man. I will always remember him as ahead of his time when it came to computer technology.

Please accept our heart-felt condolences.
