Obituary of Ivan D. Dolezal

Ivan D. Dolezal "Papa" Age 77. Peacefully Tuesday, January 10, 2017 at Silver Cross Hospital with his family by his side. Born in Slovakia and a Chicago, North Riverside, and Berwyn area resident for nearly 50 years. He was a man of nature, loved his morning McDonald's meetings, long walks, and bike rides. An avid Chicago Blackhawks fan, Ivan never missed watching a game. He was a man with many culinary skills. In his opinion, "Everyone must eat!" Ivan will be going for one last walk in the forest with his four-legged buddy Rya. Survived by two sons, Brian (Debbie) Dolezal of New Lenox and Henry (Karen) Dolezal of Clarksville, TN; five grandchildren, Ava, Alex and Austin Dolezal; Justin and Elizabeth Haupt. As it was Ivan's request, private family services were held. Cremation rites have been accorded. Fred C. Dames Funeral Home, 3200 Black at Essignton Rds., Joliet, IL in charge of arrangements.
