William M. Dopman

William M. Dopman, age 90, passed away on Friday, April 28, 2023 at his home in Wilton with his family by his side. 

He was born on January 4, 1933 in New York, NY, the son of the late Minard C. Dopman and Louise Lewis Dopman.

William served his country with pride as an Aviation Mechanic for the US Airforce.    

William had the biggest heart and a humble spirit.  He was a private and quiet person, but also very witty and fun!  He was fearless, yet sensitive and incredibly compassionate.  William enjoyed woodworking, camping, his dogs and his cat Moonlite, and a good bottle of scotch.  His greatest joy was time with his family and his church in Maryland. 

William is survived by his son, Paul W. Dopman (Ann Smith); stepdaughter, Kathy Gentile; grandchildren, Carissa Dopman, Cameron Dopman; step-grandchild, Jenny Silberman; many nieces, nephews and friends who will miss him dearly.

He is preceded in death by his wife, Patricia Dopman.
