As the county building official, Mr. Dorn introduced and enforced state building code laws and made improvements to the building permit system that increased county revenues; and

Whereas, Mr. Dorn was a member of the McCormick First Baptist Church, but had been attending the McCormick United Methodist Church. He played the tenor saxophone with several area bands and enjoyed listening to beach music and rhythm and blues. Mr. Dorn enjoyed fishing and developed the hobby from outings with his aunt, Doris Bladon and uncle, Milton Bladon; and
