This obituary is about 6 months old and I missed it because it does not mention Davidsonville.

Robert Michael Dorman passed away on June 10, 2021, after battling cancer. He was born on May 2, 1960, to Jack and Ann Dorman in Commack, Long Island, New York. He is survived by his wife Kim, beloved Duke, mother Ann, brothers Jim and Steve, sister Ann, and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father Jack, his brother John, and his beloved Rocky.

Bob was the kind of person that made an impact upon you, and you never forgot him. He was a loving, kind, giving and patriotic person. Always being the first to lend a hand, he and Kim generously served many friends and loved ones throughout the years. Family meant everything to him. He respected his family heritage and spoke often of the influence they have had on his life. Having a "good time" for Bob meant family and friends hanging out together with good food, good music and good conversation! We will miss him so much!
