Daniel T. Dolan age 74 of Wayne died Friday, January 14, 2011 at the Chilton Memorial Hospital, Pequannock.
He was born in Jersey City and lived in Elmwood Park having graduated from Pope Pius High School, Passaic with the Class of 1955 before moving to Wayne in 1960.
Dan was the owner of Dan Dolan Construction for ten years before taking on the job of Fire Official for Wayne Township which he did for twenty five years before retiring in 2002.
He was dedicated to Wayne Township having volunteered for the Community Fire Company #1, Wayne, Wayne Township First Aid Squad, Life Member of the Wayne Elks Lodge #2181, coaching Wayne P.A.L. baseball teams, and being a ski chaperone for the Wayne Grammar Schools and DePaul High School, Wayne. He also served twenty years on the Board of Directors of Sisco Village, Wayne. Dan was extremely sociable, loved the NY Giants and had a great sense of humor.
Dan met his wife, Elsie Unger, at the ice cream and candy store that was located at Hope and Harrison Street in Passaic. Their first date and Dan’s proposal of marriage were both at Rutt’s Hut, in Passaic. They married on November 26, 1960 at Holy Trinity RC Church, Passaic and honeymooned in Florida. Before their marriage Dan had built a home in Wayne Township. Upon their return from Florida there was a large snowstorm and Dan had to stay in Elmwood Park to help his father deliver milk. Elsie spent the first two nights alone, in the farmlands of Wayne Township, after arriving home from their honeymoon. They have enjoyed a loving marriage of fifty years together.
Dan was the beloved husband of Elsie(Unger) Dolan; devoted father of Kenneth and Colleen Dolan; loved brother of Donald and his wife Jean of Jacksonville, FL, James of Nutley, Thomas of Elmwood park and Lynne Mulholland and her husband Richard of Clifton, loving brother-in-law of Elaine Unger of California and her late husband Walter; much loved uncle of Gregory Dolan, Jessica Unger and Kelsey Mulholland.
