John Jack Dooley

Dear Mrs. Dooley,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Mr. Dooley was my trumpet teacher for 4 years while I was at North Hunterdon (86-90). Aside from a being a skilled instructor, he was a wonderful person to spend time with. To this day, whenever I get to play my horn, there is a memory of one of Mr. Dooley's lessons. Best wishes to you and your family.

Dear Barbara, Haven't been around much to really get to know you and Jack but feel that I do through all the wonderful things my family members have told me. I can remember it was such a joy for such wonderful people to settle in my parent's house...love it, and make it into such a lovely place.
May God's comfort and peace be with you and your family. Mitch Mitchell (Jeannie Week's brother)

Dear Mrs. Dooley, John and Family,
Mr. Dooley was my middle school band director and private flute teacher. He always made music and band so much fun (and I have no musical ability). I can still picture him during our band practices and parades in Flemington and at the middle school.

During our shared years at Moravian, John always kept me up to date on his dad. I was glad to get to know the son who meant so much to Mr. Dooley.

I wish you all the best during this sad time...

Dear Mrs. Dooley,

My husband and I are sorry for the loss of your husband. He was very special to our girls. He was one of the teachers responsible for some of our girls continuing is Music. I can remember like yesterday when my oldest daughter Maria volunteered my services to repair an old battered flag for the band to March in the Memorial Day Parade. I was 6 1/2 months pregnant with my 6th child.
We enjoyed the band concerts so much. He put his heart and soul into all the...

Mrs. Dooley,

My daughter came home quite upset on Wednesday and she is not typically an emotional girl. She had just found out about your husband's sudden passing from her instrumental teacher at Hunterdon Central. When she shared the information with me, we hugged and our eyes filled. Your husband was a musical inspiration to SO many young people in the area. When my daughter wanted to try playing the oboe in 5th grade, he didn't tell her that it was too difficult an instrument to...

Barbara and Family,
I was sad to hear of Jack's sudden death. I worked in H and PE with Jack for 15 years at Barley Sheaf and, being specialists, we often shared the same space for our activities. Luckily, our noise didn't bother him and we liked his music! I enjoyed his sense of humor, his varied interests and his love for life. My husband is also a bagpiper so we shared this interest and it was great to see his improvement and skill with this difficult instrument. He touched the...

Dear Babara, Johnny, Jennie and family,
Our hearts are very heavy for you. Jack was such a special friend and we enjoyed both of you as our former neighbors more than words can express. We will always remember with warmth and joy the wonderful times spent in your home and ours when Dorie would visit and she and Jack would 'jam' together! Memory is a blessed gift and we are so grateful for those Jack etched on our hearts.
Please be assured of our prayers that God will give you all the...

Jack:

Goodnight sweet Prince. The world was a better place because of you.
