Devoted son of Edward and Goldie Dobkin. Beloved husband of Edith “Edie” Wertheim. Loving father of Marilyn Danz and her husband, Jim, of Cumberland, R.I.; Sheryl Dobkin and her partner, Michael Kravitsky, of Wrentham; and Jodi Russell and her husband, Mike, of Weymouth.

Dear brother of Steven Dobkin and his wife, Linda, of Wellesley and Elaine Thaw and her late husband, Ronald, of Miami.

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.

Mr. Dobkin’s funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 18 at Schlossberg Family’s Chapel on the Hill, 824 Washington St., Canton, with the interment to follow at Sharon Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made in Mr. Dobkin’s memory to Brockton VA Medical Center, c/o Hospice Palliative Unit (72C), 940 Belmont St., Brockton, MA 02301.
