Charles Dolan Obituary
He will be sadly missed by his loving and devoted wife of 41 years Becky, sons James (Jennifer) and Andrew (Emma), grandsons Liam and Braden, his brother Alan (Patti), nieces Emily (Stephen) and Lucy (Carlos), and many friends.
He was a true Renaissance man, a very creative person and everything he put his mind to he did well. Charles died with plenty to do and a happy man.
Visitation will be held on Sunday, November 17, from 12:30 to 1 p.m., followed by a service at 1 p.m. at Collins Clarke MacGillivray White Funeral Home, 5610 Sherbrooke St. W. (corner Marcil), Montreal.

Dear Becky, We send our deepest sympathies to you and your family. We have only known Charles for a short time while at the cottage but enjoyed some good conversation, especially about baseball, a mutual sport that we followed. We hope that you and your family will continue to be our neighbours at the lake. dennis and dani
