Thomas Fleming Dorsey, 98, of Falmouth died March 3 in his home on Nursery Road.
He was the husband of Audrey Jane (Hofmann) Dorsey, who died in November. They had lived on Nursery Road for more than 50 years before he and his wife moved into Atria Woodbriar Place in 2016.
Born in Putnam, Connecticut, he was raised on several farms managed by his father, including Hill-Stead in Farmington, Connecticut, and Mount Loretto on Staten Island, New York.
He graduated from Tottenville High School on Staten Island in 1941. During high school, he was a Sea Scout working aboard the charter schooner S/V Tanager. He acquired a life-long love for the sea while attaining the rank of quartermaster, the equivalent of an Eagle Scout.
