Doran received a standing ovation from fellow employees as he accepted his award from Sr. Sara Sweeney, administrator.

Mercy Center was a convent in 1968 when Doran began his new job in the laundry department. A few years later, he joined the maintenance staff and, in 1980, transferred to the Dietary Department where he has worked ever since.

Doran can often by heard saying, “The people (at Mercy Center) are good to work for and it’s a nice place.”

Doran was raised in northeast Pennsylvania and lived most of his years in Shavertown. He enjoys bowling, golf and music, knows how to play the organ and occasionally will play a tune on the keyboards at Mercy Center.

Everyone who knows Doran affectionately calls him “Bobby.”

When asked about his longevity at Mercy Center, he says, “It just takes patience; just do what your job is.”
