The Jamestown City Council’s longest-tenured member and former president, has passed away in his sleep.  The Post Journal reports that Mayor Kim Ecklund informed City Council members Saturday morning.  “I have always worked in a bipartisan fashion with all members of council,” Dolce said in October prior to his re-election to the council. “I believe my experience through my years on the city council is extremely valuable to the other members, as well as the city administration. I look forward to serving the community for another term.” Dolce was also heavily involved in the push to save Ss. Peter and Paul after the church was scheduled to close by the Buffalo Diocese of the Catholic Church, was a constant presence in recent years at Diethrick Park after his son, Christian, was named general manager of the Jamestown Tarp Skunks and a steady presence on the City Council since the 1990s.  Dolce is a lifelong resident of Jamestown, graduating from Jamestown High School and also teaching there for over 35 years as a government and economics teacher.  Dolce has been active in multiple other places in the community, including his church; Holy Apostles Parish, and multiple boards and commissions such as the YMCA board, the Lakeview Cemetery board and Board of Public Utilities Board of Directors. Dolce also serves on the Jamestown Local Development Corporation, and JURA. He is an active runner in the community, helping to raise money for causes and charities over the years. He also served as an assistant coach of the Jamestown High School cross country team and was a coach for the JHS baseball team.  Dolce is survived by his wife, Anne, and grown children Amelia and Christian.  Funeral arrangments will be announced.
