Charles Dolan Passes Away

ceaonline Uncategorized

I received some sad news today from Peter Dolan. Charlie Dolan, Peter’s Grandfather, passed away on Monday February 15th.  As feisty as Charlie was, I will remember him for his dedication to Atlas Elevator, our industry and to his family.  It wasn’t more than 6-7 years ago when I stopped by Atlas Elevator and Charlie was at his drafting table working away. At the time, I admired his ability to want to continue working at his age and his desire to share his knowledge with others.

Please take a moment to sign his guest book. If you have a story you’d like to share about Charlie please share it in the guest book.
