Bernard
Dolan
Mar 23, 1934 — Jul 8, 2024
Salem
Bernard "Barney" S. Dolan, 90, of Salem, NH passed away on Monday morning, July 8th, 2024, at the Salemhaven Nursing Home.
Barney was born on March 23, 1934, to Alice (Bartlett) and William J. Dolan. He was raised in Lowell, Massachusetts, where he received his education at St. Peters School. Barney spent his career as a truck driver and automotive school instructor. Upon his retirement, he worked as a bartender at Salisbury Beach.
He had a large personality that could command any room. Barney always had stories to share and jokes to tell. He was never at a loss for words. He'd be quick to tell you "I tell it as I see's it"
He loved driving and was known to drive for hours with his wife Tena just to get out and get a good cup of coffee. Barney loved traveling and was able to visit 48 out of the 50 states.
Barney's greatest love was his six daughters and their families. He was so loved by his girls and the rest of his family. He is incredibly missed by his girls today and every tomorrow.
He is survived by his beloved daughters, Debra Comtois and her husband Robert of Chelmsford, MA, Lynn Dolan, Brenda Dolan, both of Lowell, MA, Susie Owen and her partner Jim Misenti of Hampstead, NH, Donna Shedd and her husband Don of Hampstead, NH, and Dodie Dolan and her husband Tom Shaughnessy of Chelmsford, MA; twelve grandchildren, and twenty-four great-grandchildren.
Barney was predeceased by his first wife, Brenda (Daley) Dolan and his second wife, Waltena "Tena" (Mulno) Dolan.
Calling hours will be held on Monday, July 15th from 2 to 6pm, at the Carrier Family Funeral Home, 38 Range Road, Windham, NH 03087.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Officer Sean A. Collier Memorial Fund.
