Father Larry was an amazing role model and close dear friend of mine. I will always cherish the times together and how cool he was... I will never forget the tour of San Luis Rey and our dinners together. I miss him dearly.

I'm so so sad to learn of the passing last May 15th of my dear dear cousin Fr. Larry Dolan. Our grandfathers were brothers. I knew something was wrong when he didn't text me right back as he usually did -my late husband and I met him once in Hingham MA - he was always there for me in any family difficulty especially after my husband's death in 2015. I will miss my cousin and dear friend terribly - he will always be in my prayers and I thank God for him in my life.

Father Larry was my cousin. I only met him once, just before he headed to Rome for the seminary. We reconnected recently over the internet.

When he was younger he played the bagpipes!

Father Larry was one of those gifts that the Good Lord gives many of us in recovery. Whether it was
at the Casa; or Topawa, or here in San Diego County,
he carried the message. May he rest in peace
