Patrick John Dolan, 66, passed away on October 16th after a courageous 18 year battle with Parkinson’s Disease. Pat was born in Denver, CO on November 9, 1951 to John F. Dolan and Mary Aikins Dolan. He attended Machebeuf High School in Denver, and during these school years attained the elite rank of Eagle Scout with the Boy Scouts of America. He then achieved his bachelor and master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering from Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO. During his time at CSU, Pat met his wife Sally McDonald (Dolan), whom he married on August 24, 1974. Pat and Sally later welcomed two daughters, Shannon and Brenda. Pat spent his entire career working for Stone and Webster Engineering/Shaw Group from 1974-2008. If you wanted to really get him talking, he was always up for a good discussion on the use of nuclear power. One of Pat’s favorite past times involved restoring old cars including a Firebird and Datsun Roadster. He was an avid skier, played soccer in several leagues, golfed, joined a bowling league, competed in many Kinetics races, and loved to ride his bike where he often participated in long-distance charity races. Pat also thoroughly enjoyed outdoor adventures especially jeeping, hiking, camping, and climbing 3 of Colorado’s 14’s. Further interests included traveling (including such distant places as Pakistan, Thailand, Europe, New Zealand, United Arab Emirates), science fiction, Star Trek (‘beam me up Scotty’, and ‘live long and prosper’ became ever favorite lines), and rooting for all of the Denver sports teams, especially the Denver Broncos.
