A devout Catholic, Theodore was devoted to his wife of 22 years, Ana S. Lora de Dorsett, and to his children: Jason, Theodore Jr., Yoquelin, Yonathan, Abriana, and Paloma.

He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Francis Dorsett.

May he rest in eternal peace.

Theodore Aloysius Dorsett falleció en paz. Nació en Nueva York y, con el tiempo, hizo de las Islas Vírgenes su hogar. Theodore fue un hombre reservado que dejó que sus acciones hablaran por él.

Sirvió honorablemente en el Ejército de los Estados Unidos como tirador de precisión, alcanzando el rango de Especialista Cinco (SP5/E5). Fue condecorado con la Medalla de Encomio del Ejército y la Medalla de Buena Conducta. Posteriormente, dedicó 40 años de su vida a trabajar como reportero judicial, hasta su jubilación.

Católico devoto, Theodore fue un esposo dedicado a su esposa de 22 años, Ana S. Lora de Dorsett, y un padre amoroso para sus hijos: Jason, Theodore Jr., Yoquelin, Yonathan, Abriana y Paloma.

Que descanse en paz eterna.
