“Rich moved back to Rumson in 1980 and started what would be a very successful career as a stockbroker and financial advisor. He was fortunate to raise his family in the same Lafayette Street house that he grew up in. Rich spent many days and hours with his sons on the basketball court at Rogers Park. Rich loved life and being surrounded by friends and family.

“He was an avid golfer and loved to talk about his two holes in one. Besides golf, he loved the Yankees but was most passionate about Seton Hall basketball. He loved taking his grandchildren to see the Pirates play. He also loved going to his grandkids sporting events and always encouraged them to be their best. Besides bleeding Pirate blue, he took pride in being a part of a big Irish Catholic family and loved being called one of the big, tall Dooley boys. Many a laugh were had when the Dooley and Carroll clan would come together.

“He loved his summers and the beach, having spent many days lounging in the sun at The Peninsula House, and then Ship Ahoy.


“Rich’s family would like to thank all his family, friends and co-workers who were part of his journey in life and for your love and support. Please remember Rich in your prayers.“

Loved ones of Rich Dooley in his obituary
