John "Jay" Dorsey, 76, of Fort Myers, Florida entered into eternal rest on August 20, 2024 after a period of declining health. He was the son of the late John "Jack" Dorsey and Genevieve (Bradlee) Dorsey.

Born in Cambridge, MA, Jay was raised in Thomaston, Maine before moving to Lynnfield, MA at the age of 15. He attended St. John's Prepatory School and was a graduate of St. Mary's High School in Lynn, MA class of 1966.

Jay was a proud Vietnam veteran who served our country with honor and courage in the Vietnam War. It was then his great honor to have his name engraved on the Veteran's Memorial located in Lynnfield Town Center.

He was an avid sports fan who followed all New England Teams at the high school, college, and professional levels. As a season ticket holder to the Boston Red Sox for over 40 years, Jay never missed an opportunity to show off his treasured ticket to anyone he met. He was employed at the Harp and Bard Restaurant and Pub in Norwood, MA for many years prior to owning and operating the Banner Glass Company in Waltham, MA and Dorsey's Deli in Lynnfield, MA.

In retirement, Jay enjoyed spending time at his family home in Cape Elizabeth, Maine and golfing in Fort Myers, Florida. He is survived by several cousins, and many lifelong close friends in Florida and New England. Always a jokester, Jay will be fondly remembered for his quick wit and dry sense of humor- Oh, the stories he would tell!

Per Jay's wishes, services will be private. Interment will take place in the Sarasota National Cemetery in Sarasota, Florida. Arrangements entrusted to Baldwin Brothers Funeral & Cremation Society of Fort Myers, Florida. Those who prefer may make donations in Jay's name to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation , 2361 Hylan Blvd., Staten Island, New York 10306.
