Frank Edward Dorsey 74; was born in Bristol, Maryland on July 3, 1949 to the late Ernest and Lillian Dorsey.
He graduated in 1967 from Great Mills High School. Frank then served in the United States Army as a PVT E1 where he performed as an aircraft powertrain repairman. He quickly became a SP5 E5 receiving a service star along with several service, campaign and commendation medals; including Meritorious Achievement in the Republic of Vietnam before an honorable discharge. He worked the rest of his career in highway construction operating and repairing any and all heavy equipment.
Frank had an easy nature with the presence of a bear. His jolly, playful demeanor made him the favorite of children. His love of animals and nature compelled him to be an avid fisherman, hunter, outdoorsman. Repairing cars and playing billiards were also favorite pass times.
