Announcement

As many of you know, we lost long-time friend and colleague Lori Donohue and her eight-year-old daughter Kayla in a terrible automobile accident on the evening of Monday, June 8.

In her sixteen years with Dorian Drake, Lori earned several promotions, working her way up through the ranks to inside sales manager of our Industrial and Environmental Products Group. She also served the company on numerous committees and project teams, invariably in a leadership role. Lori was smart, funny, principled, reliable, responsive, and a person you would always want to be with, in good times or bad. Her death, and Kayla's, represent an almost unspeakable tragedy for those who knew them.

Many who knew Lori have asked what they can do to help. In response, we have attached here a page describing a memorial fund we are establishing in Lori's and Kayla's memory. (click here for PDF attachment).
