About[]

Sam Dorian was a traveling office supply salesman. He was a fun loving guy who loved his two sons, J.D. and Dan Dorian. Ever since his divorce from his wife Barbara, Sam has had financial difficulties, and trouble keeping a steady job. ("My Old Man")

Because Sam was always strapped for money, he gave a young J.D. individual pieces of a bicycle every year for his birthday. ("My Lucky Day")

Sam passed away during J.D.'s fourth year at Sacred Heart Hospital. ("My Cake") Sam is remembered in his home town by people that he was generous to. He would give his family's leftovers to a homeless man, Mr. Longbeard Stinkypants. The man remembered him after Sam died. ("My Last Words")

His sons[]

His sons, J.D. and Dan loved him as a father, but J.D. felt as if his father was a free loader, before he realized his father was going through some rough times. ("My Bad") When he passes away, Dan and J.D. took it pretty hard, but realized that they truly loved him. ("My Cake") Also, J.D. named his first child Sam Perry Gilligan Dorian, after his father, (who, according to Dan, looks just like Sam).
