Dorman was born on August 18, 1926 to Joe and Mae (Leavell) Anderson in Ryan, Oklahoma, the oldest of 3 children. After attending and graduating from school in Terral, Oklahoma, he entered the U.S. Navy where he proudly served for 2 years.
Dorman met Oma Joyce Cleveland while attending school in Terral. They were friends throughout their school years and only began to date when Dorman was attending the University of Oklahoma and Oma was attending OCW at Chickasha.

Dorman graduated from OU with a Bachelor of Science Degree in geology and business.

Dorman was an active member of the North Texas Oil and Gas Association for many, many years. He was a long time member of First Baptist Church.
Although he was a successful independent oil producer, Dorman was a devoted husband and father. He often took Terry and Kevin hunting and fishing instilling in them a sense of loyalty and honesty that made their parents very proud.
When his granddaughters Sophia and Anna were born, Dorman became the doting grandfather. Sophia and Anna would come over to visit and Dorman would load them up and take them out to eat filling their time together with stories of history and his travels; both passionate hobbies of Dorman's.
His infectious laugh will be missed.
