“Hey Thomas, tonight you became the guardian angel for Laycee and Gracie.” “No” was one of the few words that Thomas ever said to his two best friends, Laycee and Gracie. When getting ready to go to McDonalds or skating, he would always say, “You ready?” “Well, tonight Oct. 30, 2013, Thomas, you were ready for the most exciting journey with Daddy, MaMa, Joyce, Buddy and Betty Ann.”
Thomas was a Vietnam veteran.
Thomas was preceded in death by his “Daddy”, Millard Dolan; “MaMa”, Doris Dolan; two sisters, Joyce and Betty Ann; and one brother, Buddy.
Thomas is survived by his brothers, Jimmy and Paul; sisters, Mae, Inez and Donna; and several nieces, nephews; four dogs, Catt, Romeo, Rosi and Sand Box; his best friends, Laycee and Gracie.
Pallbearers will be family and friends. Honorary will be Laycee and Gracie.
