Henry "Hank" Lee Dorman of Harrisonburg passed away on Aug. 31, 2010, at Rockingham Memorial Hospital.
Henry was born in Rockingham County to the late Charlie Dorman and Bessie Sites Dorman on Dec. 12, 1935. He attended Keezletown Elementary School and Montevideo High School.
Henry started employment at Shank Wholesalers in Harrisonburg in 1958, working as a delivery driver. Through years of dedicated work and service to his friends, he retired in 2000 as the general manager.
Hank was a member at McGaheysville United Methodist Church, and more recently attended Mount Olive Brethren Church and Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church. He believed in the promises of our Lord and Savior, and rests with Him today.
Henry was a lifelong sports fan and was committed to facilitating sports opportunities for the youth of Rockingham County. Throughout various stages of his life, he was a Little League basketball and football coach, a Valley and County League baseball official, and a spotter for the football programs at Montevideo and Spotswood High Schools.
Hank was perhaps best known for his time spent in and around the game of golf. He served on the board of directors at Lakeview Golf Course for 36 years, serving as president for 17 years. Henry won three Lakeview Club Championships and four Lakeview Amateur Championships. During his last round of golf on Aug. 17, 2010, Hank scored his 16th hole-in-one.
In the past few years, Henry enjoyed travel with his special friend and partner, Selma L. Wine, who survives. They just returned from the Grand Canyon in early August.
Henry shared 43 years and a family with Lavon "Bonnie" Dorman, who survives. Hank was a committed family man who is also survived by three sons, Terry Dorman and wife, Donna, of Elkton, Va., Mark Dorman and wife, Joni, of Greensboro, N.C., and Dana Dorman and wife, Kim, of Greensboro, N.C. He is also survived by nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. The night before he died, Hank was dancing in the living room with his great-granddaughter, Addison.
Henry was preceded in death by his 11 siblings, Charles E. Dorman, Mary Emerson, Nettie Armentrout, Ernest L. Dorman, Charles L. Sites, Dewey D. Dorman, Nancy June Karn, Florence Baker, Bessie Baker, Hiram Dorman and Hanna Hark.
