In Memoriam We extend our deepest sympathy to families and friends of these members of the Sanford community. Robert Kimberly Doorly ’39—November 21, 1920–February 12, 2015: R. Kimberly Doorly, known as “Junior” during his time at Sanford, and later known as Bob, was the beloved husband of the late Patricia Hasting Doorly, his wife of 49 years. He received a degree in business administration from Syracuse University after serving in the Army during WWII. Bob was an active volunteer at the Dartmouth Mary Hitchcock Hospital and an avid sportsman who was proud of his membership in the “over 70 ski club.” A charter member of the Norwich Racquet Club, he was admired by many for his “exemplary sportsmanship and humor.” As a member of the Sanford class of ’39, he was the editor of the Golden Leaves. Junior was a member of the track and football teams and held important parts in the Christmas operetta The Golden Trail and the Easter play The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come.

But it was his own good luck to become a handsome and talented young man whose warm heart, love of people, and deep appreciation for beauty took him to heights beyond his dreams.
