Robert C. Dorsey
Robert C. Dorsey, 96, of Athens, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, Sept. 18, 2012, at Athens Regional Medical Center.
A former resident of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., where he had lived for many years, and a resident of Athens for the past seven years, he was a son of the late Robert J. and Clara C. Dorsey, and was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Margaret "Peggy" Dorsey; and two nephews, Jerre Smith and Mark Smith.
He was a former employee with the State of Florida Health Department, where he retired early due to a disability from his time in the military. He was fondly remembered for his 12 years with the Civil Air Patrol of Florida, where he mentored a number of young people.

Survivors include one sister, Claris Smith; two nieces, Brenda Clanton and Holly Enten; several great-nephews and great-nieces; and two godchildren.
The family would like to say thank you to the staff of Golden Touch for their excellent care and the care he received from Dr. Maynard and Athens Regional Medical Center.
Funeral services will be 2 p.m. Thursday in the chapel of Laycock-Hobbs Funeral Home with the Rev. Dennie Humphreys officiating. Graveside services will be held at Warren H. Smith Cemetery in Jacksonville Beach, Fla., at a later date.
