He was preceded in death by two sisters, Frances and Pauline. Survivors include two daughters, Judy E. Gaunt of Upper DeerÞeld Township, New Jersey, and Betty L. Ricci of Downe Township, New Jersey; two brothers, Harold Dorsey of Hartford and Wayne Dorsey of Gatlinburg; four sisters, Gladys Darter and Imogene Keckler, both of Springfield, Missouri, Helen Arp of Indiana and Shirley McMillen of Newport; and five grandchildren, Allison, Brian and Jennifer Ricci of Downe Township, New Jersey, and Amanda and Brent Gaunt of Upper DeerÞeld Township, New Jersey.
