Dolan's son, Paul, acknowledged his father’s passion for family and community in a heartfelt statement. The Dolan family has owned the franchise for 25 years, with plans for ownership transition already underway with David Blitzer set to acquire a majority stake. Dolan’s contributions to Cleveland through various sectors have been recognized, showcasing his extensive impact on the region.
We are saddened by the loss of our Dad, but lucky to have him as part of our lives as long as we did, Paul said in a statement on behalf of the family. "He was a loving husband, father and grandfather who was passionate about his family, work, our community and his love of our local sports teams, including owning the Cleveland Guardians."
Mr. Dolan invested his entire life in Greater Cleveland and impacted our community on so many levels, Guardians senior vice president of public affairs Bob DiBiasio said. "From his service to our country as a First Lieutenant in the United States Marines, his many philanthropic acts of kindness, career in law, business, education, and sports, many benefited from his engagement, influence, and passion. Especially in the world of sports."
