Anyone who knew Mr. Dobkin will remember that he was “Mr. Fix-it,” whether it was cars, TVs, or home repairs – he did it all. A runner, a bike rider, and a smart man, Mr. Dobkin lived a full life, living 30 years after his retirement. Family was everything to Mr. Dobkin, and right to the end, he worried about Edie, his wife of 68 years. He was a reliable Dad and was loved very much by his grandchildren.
