A funeral service was held at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in White Salmon, Washington, on September 3, followed by burial with military honors at Lone Pine Cemetery on Hartland Road here in High Prairie. Afterward, family and friends shared an evening meal and memories of Tom at the High Prairie Community Center. We send Lozetta and her family all of our affection, sympathy and concern.
The High Prairie community has suffered the loss of one of its mainstays with the passing of Tom Doll. Tom had been in our thoughts and prayers for several months as he struggled with health problems that doctors didn’t identify until late in July. After a courageous fight, supported by family, Tom slipped quietly away on August 29. Tom had many close friends, and he was active in the community and in his neighborhood, where he earned the unofficial title of “Mayor of South Prairie.” He will be missed!
Additional memories of Tom appear later in this edition.
