Joseph W. Doll, Sr., 90, passed away on Tuesday, July 22, 2025. He was born November 18, 1934 in St. Louis, MO to Wilfred, Sr. and Dorothy (Jensen) Doll. The family lived in St. Louis for Joe’s first nine years and then moved to Hawk Point. Joe attended St. Mary’s Catholic school in Hawk Point and Buchanan High School in Troy.
 Joe met Linda Thompson when she was in high school; he was driving past her and thought she was the prettiest girl he’d ever seen. When Joe was home on leave from serving in the U.S. Army, he proposed to Linda. After his honorable discharge from the service, they were married on June 7, 1958 at St. Mary’s Church in Hawk Point. They were married for 62 years before Linda passed away in 2020.
 To this union were born four children: Joe Jr., Frank, Brenda and Pat. Joe worked as a mechanic for several auto dealerships in Troy. On April 1, 1960, he and his father opened Doll’s Garage & Equipment Co. in Hawk Point. His brother would later join the business.
 He and his family were members of St. Mary’s Church in Hawk Point and Joe helped whenever needed. In his early years, he enjoyed stock car racing. Later he participated in demolition derbies and tractor pulls. Hunting with his sons, grandsons and granddaughters was a favorite pastime of his. He enjoyed hunting trips to Wyoming, South Dakota and Colorado. Joe and Linda also loved to go dancing, and enjoyed several memorable vacations with friends. Joe was a good provider for his family, instilling in each of his kids the value of hard work; he took excellent care of each and every one of them.
