It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dennis (Steve) Allan Dorr at the age of 93 years. He is survived by the love of his life for over 69 years, Ruth Elizabeth (MacMunn). Loving Dad to Denise Wood and her husband Jack, Stephen Dorr and his wife, Tracey. Papa Steve to his grandkids, Gillian Hunter (Thomas), Dennis Wood (Maddy Kwan), Jessica Dorr, Ryan Dorr (Vanessa Klis) and Nicole Dorr. Special Papa Steve to his great grandkids, Harrison and Vivienne Hunter. He will be missed by his siblings Laureen Clarke and Warren Dorr and his wife Linda. Predeceased by his parents, Grant (Sandy) and Marion Dorr, and his late brothers, Ron, Ralph and Lloyd.
Steve along with his brother Ralph owned and operated Dorr Brothers Limited in Stoney Creek for over 35 years. Ruth and Steve enjoyed the years at the RHYC, sailing their boat around Hamilton Harbour and in Lake Ontario. They loved to travel. First driving around Europe, then later on, traveling with tours and cruises. Driving to the condo in Florida was always fun for them, stopping along the way, visiting different sites.
