Obituary of John Patrick Dolan

John Patrick Dolan, of Larchmont, passed away peacefully on March 13, 2022 at Calvary Hospital at age 91.  He was born in New Rochelle on October 27, 1930, to Stephen and Sarah Dolan (nee Bergin). John attended Blessed Sacrament High School and Iona College. He was always an athlete, from the roller-skating rink as a young boy to the basketball court in high school and college and to his beloved Winged Foot golf course.  He married Barbara Ann Margotta on May 17, 1958. They raised five children together in Larchmont. John is preceded in his death by Barbara (February 20, 1993), his eldest daughter Elizabeth (March 18, 2017) and his second wife, Mary Ann Carrol (May 29, 2021).

John retired from Sterling Regal, a graphic arts company, in Manhattan in 1995, where he worked in photo-engraving sales. He worked hard providing for his family and was very generous to anyone in need.  John had an unwavering faith and was a devoted life-long parishioner of the Catholic churches in his community, Sts. John and Paul for many years and more recently Saint Augustine. Most importantly, John devoted countless hours dedicated to helping those in alcohol recovery, having endured his own personal struggles. It truly was his life’s mission, and he touched so many lives over the 53 years of his sobriety. John was also a veteran of the US Navy.

John is survived by four of his children, John Dolan (Jackie), Maureen Fletcher (Bill), Anne Hale, Katherine Keegan (Richard) and his seven grandchildren, Sean, Christina, and Ian Dolan, Michael, Ryan, and Tyler Fletcher, and John F. Dillon.
