My favorite uncle. May God Bless his immortal soul.

I will always remember the great times spent with the Dooley family growing up. I will never forget the help that he provided to Dave & me in builing our first home or his wonderful sense of humor.



My greatest sympathy goes out to his surviving family, especially Aunt Mary Ann who I also dearly love. May God grant them all peace in their loss. Love to all, Jeannie
