    "Dolly" was a great guy and Police Officer. He had a dry sense of humor that was hilarious, and played softball with all of us young whipper snappers as he called us. I learned a lot from being in his presence and I know his family will miss him. I know he's enjoying the streets of gold in Heaven.

    Very sorry to hear of Dolly's passing. He was a GREAT friend to our family many years ago. My Mom, Nell Shehane ran the Coffee Cup Grill and as a 6 year old SPOILED brat I was there so Dolly became my hero. I'll not say how many times I got to ride the motor cycle with my Buddy and our families got together on most weekends to cook out, play rummy and just have fun. I was in the wedding and gave the ring to Dolly to slip on Marilyn's finger to tie the knot. Boy did I think I was cool. Got the wedding pictures here somewhere.
    God bless all of you and my memories of Dolly are still very vivid as I'm sure yours will be forever.

You are with God and your sweet Marilyn and son Randy now. Love you Dolly.
