Obituary

Andrew G. Dole, 64, of Harpers Ferry, WV, passed away Friday, May 30, 2025, at his home surrounded by family after a brave battle with brain cancer. Andy was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, and friend who was deeply cherished by all he knew.

Born on June 4th, 1960, in Newfane, NY, he was the son of the late Lawrence "Larry" J. Dole, Sr. and late Margaret Tueschier Dole.

He was a member of The Roman Catholic Parish of St. James the Greater in Charles Town, WV and the Knights of Columbus "Our Lady of the Valley" Council of Middletown, MD.

Andy never met a stranger and was truly the life of the party. In his retirement, he enjoyed cheering on his favorite teams, the NY Mets and NY Giants, attending sporting events and concerts, writing and playing music, and spending time with friends and family, including his only granddaughter.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Christine Poplawski Dole; children: Rebecca Lorenzen Dole, Jeremy Dole; and Bryan Dole.

He was a beloved grandfather to Corinne Lorenzen.
