Sunday, July 28, 2019. Born in Dorchester, Arthur was the beloved husband of
Jean C. (Shilcock) Dockrey for 63 years. He was a Staff Engineer for MIT-Lincoln
Laboratory for forty years retiring in 1994.
He graduated from Brockton High School, Class of 1950 and Northeastern
University and joined the Air Force shortly there after. He was discharged from
the Air Force in 1954, and it was then that he became employed at MIT-Lincoln.
He lived in Brockton for many years and was a long time member of
The First Baptist Church of Brockton.
Art and his wife were fortunate to have been blessed with many years together to enjoy retirement, travel and family. He loved to sail on his sailboat, Affinity, especially with his grandchildren and his sailing buddies, Charlie and Buzzy.
In addition to his wife, Mr. Dockrey leaves his son, Paul G. Dockrey and his wife,
Brigitte, of Lakeville and his daughter, Kathryn Stevens and her husband, Dale of
Wellfleet. He is the brother of Thomas E. Dockrey of Hull, Julia Averill of Bristol,
RI, Mary Telles of Salem, Oregon, John Dockrey of Chatham and the late Rose
McKenzie, Leonard Dockrey and Dorothy Brophy. Also, survived by six
grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. Services are private.
Our family would like to thank the staff at Cape Cod Hospital Mugar 5
for what they do every day and for which our family will be forever grateful. Donations in
memory of Arthur may be made to the Sandwich Public Library, 142 Main St.,
Sandwich, MA 02563 or a charity of one’s choice. For on-line condolences please visit
