Dear Dolan Family: My condolences go out to all of you!!! I actually just found out today that he died. I was a waitress at the Two Way Grill which he visited every day. I always seen him having coffee and reading his paper.He will be missed. He was like an Angel to me in my eyes. Always kind words. And a giving heart. He definitely praised His grandchildren. He would come in and brag about them all the time. You will be very well missed. You are up with angels now in heaven. And you were an angel here. Rest in Peace Jim.

Jim and I were neighbors for the past twenty years, we lived in the same complex, the same building and on the same floor. Jim was more than just a neighbor, I considered him a friend. I was flattered when he referred to me as his "buddy". Jim always had a great outlook on life and a smile on his face, and such a quick wit! He could banter with the best. His kindness and friendliness was well known throughout our neighborhood and I speak for many who will deeply miss him! God speed Jim, thank you for all that you gave us! May love and peace surround you and all those you love.
