Mr. Dodman was a big part of my growing up on Thomas Jefferson Lane.  He was always very kind and included me often when he went with his kids to Andersons or McDonalds.    As an adult he would always say to me, "You don't have to call me Mr. Dodman" but that was how I always knew him.  He did a lot for many people and always spent a lot of time with my friend, Pam Dodman.  He will be missed!

I will always have great memories of Thomas Jefferson Lane and spent untold hours in the Dodman house. I was always amazed with Mr. Dodman’s antique player piano that he let us use and the nice pool table in the basement. Mr Dodman always was very pleasant and made you feel welcome. He also took me for my first “big run” as a kid learning skiing at Sitzmarker Ski Club which helped launch a lifetime love of skiing.  He certainly had a life well lived and will be missed by many…

A little story I remember about Kirk from 1959 when I was 18 years old.

Kirk came over to our house on Radcliffe Rd. to visit with Pauline.  He had a 1957 Ford convertible, white with red interior.  WOW!  I asked Kirk, if I washed his car, could I borrow the car to drive to my girlfriend’s house to take her for a ride.  He was a little reluctant but said “OK but be careful".  I washed the car, turned on the music and had a lot of fun.

My prayers for my brother-in-law, Kirk Dodman.  



Sincere condolences from the Weppner family. 

Kirk and Pauline and kids Michael, Pam, Mark and Tim were were a great family to have living down the street on TJ Lane.  

Fun memories of street parties, skiing at Sitz, Paington House and the Emil Radi bocce tournament. I can see Mr. Dodman now playing bocce with a cold Molson Canadian brown glass bottle in hand. 

Here's to a great guy and better family friend!

Very sad to hear this news of uncle Kirk. He is such a kind soul and always held place in my heart. Sending my warmest condolences to Aunt Pauline, Mike, Pam, Mark, Tim and family. Love to uncle Kirk. 

I’ve known Mr Dodman for 35 years and he was so kind.  The world lost a good one here. He was a true gentleman. One of the nicest persons I knew.   Rest In Peace. God bless you and your family.  You are all in my prayers. 

Mr. Dodman was a wonderful Neighbor and I have such fond memories of him.  He built a homemade skating rink for everyone to enjoy, skiing and potluck dinners, refuge in the historic blizzard of 77, parades, always knowing someone you trusted was nearby as you explored the adventurous fields at the end of the street.  He was a kind , sweet man and I will always remember him.

To the Dodman family my deepest condolences.  What a sweet man he always was to me, and such a good friend to my father.  My parents have many fond and funny memories they have shared with us over the years! Godspeed Mr Dodman!
