John Patrick Dolan

John, you will be greatly missed. Thanks for all your help over the years. I always looked forward to seeing you at Smart Motors and I am especially grateful for all the time you spent in my classroom Mike Duren

May you Rest In Peace, but still have an occasional hearty laugh - the kind of laugh that always made us join in! It was wonderful to know you, and we will always have fond memories of you.

John, On behalf of all of your Paunack Ave. neighbors, we will miss the roar of your jeep cruising up the street on warm nights. Our condolences to Linda and Ryan.

Linda and Ryan our hearts go out to you and the rest of your family. We have fond memories of the yearly holiday parties at Nancy & Randy's where we got to spend time with you and John. Our condolences to you all. Kathy and Gary

John, my friend, your passing has brought with it an avalanche of memories that I will cherish forever. From discussions of the Bhagavad Gita and the good Dr. Joe Elder to the many bus trips to the Chicago pre-tasting for the Heublein wine auction. Ok, many of those memories are very, very fuzzy. I loved the road trips to run the corners around Mt. Horeb in your Volvo, and am really grateful for that old German body shop man who could make it look new again. Then there were those many Friday afternoons when the gang, a very fluid collection of oenophiles, would gather at special places for lunch and wine tastings that often ran well into the night. There were some great spots, The Black Bear Lounge, Gus’ basement in the Athens and the Italian Workingman’s Club, to name a few. The best though, were the Backyard Bacchanals at the picnic table in your new backyard, where we could throw empty bottles with abandon and admire Linda’s garden. And Linda, sweet Linda, put up with us all (more or less) and I will nominate her as the Patron Saint of The Enthusiastically Misguided when I next have the Pope’s ear. Finally, I want to share with everyone a sample of the artist genius within you, the wine label you created for one of my finest wines, an herbaceous and heady delight from the rolling hills of the Wisconsin River Valley. We love you John, and will see you on the other side! Randy Krause & Nancy Peerenboom
