Steven Dolowitz

DOLOWITZ, STEVEN - A Petaluma native, passed away suddenly on December 12, 2006, at the age of 56. Steve attended Wilson School, Petaluma Jr. High, Petaluma High School, Santa Rosa Jr. College and UC in Santa Barbara. He majored in Cultural Anthropology and was always interested in people. He carried this interest with him, when he was managing the family restaurant called "The Eggery" and during his 22 years selling cars for the Honda dealership in Petaluma. Steve loved cars and he loved to sell cars, but most of all he loved people. He made friends with all his customers and they remained faithful through the years. He loved his family, friends, dancing, music, photography and drives in his sports car. Born on a poultry ranch, Steve grew up helping with the chickens. In his teens, he worked for Carithers Dept. Store. Steve traveled for a year after his graduation from college. He returned home and held down a few sales jobs before finding his true love; cars. He was often top salesman for the company and won many awards. We will remember Steve's wonderful smile and sense of humor. He is survived by his parents, Marvin and Shirley Dolowitz; his wife Letha and daughter Iris; his sister Evelyn Nitzberg and her son Leo; his sister Judith Higgins, brother-in-law Tim and their children Lydia, Beth and Ian; and his sister Norma Giddings, husband Tim and their sons Nathan and Daniel; and his two beloved dogs, Angel and Halo.
