Dooley (Lois), Thomas S. Dooley and John S. Dooley of Atlantic City and many loving nieces and nephews. Although the Family moved a lot, (Philadelphia, PA, Alloway, Atlantic City, etc.) He at the age of 15, graduated from Lumberton High School class of '38 and got his first job as a fireman on the P.R. Railroad where he shoveled coal into the firebox of Steam engine trains. He served honorably in the US NAVY WWII in the Pacific Theater as a machinist mate aboard the USS BLACK DD-666, earning 9 battle stars and numerous citations. He was a member of boiler Makers union local #28 and with his brother "Woody" mentored other family members to become Boiler Makers. In 1946 Uncle Joe played semi-pro football with the original Gloucester City Mustangs and was the oldest surviving member of that organization. He studied at Temple U. for a semester before moving to California to attend U.S.C. Berkley earning his B.S. in Physics and taught chemistry as an assistant professor (1952-1954). He worked at Shell labs in California and later for the U.S Government for the Department of Agriculture in Pennsylvania. Calvin took a year off between jobs to tour Europe for a year with his wife. He returned years later and they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary for six months again. His field was mass spectrometry and developed the first lab and created programs for the use of the mass spectrometer (analyzing ions in a given mass). When he retired from the U.S. Government as G.S. #14, he returned for a time to the Boiler Makers. Calvin's hobbies included playing bridge, golf, attending the theater, and heading up his ships online association. He held membership to Absecon V.F.W. Post # 9462, Gloucester City Memorial AA, The Mass Spectrometry Society, and Pomona Golf club. Uncle Joe went to bat for relatives and friends when needed, for example in 1962 his brother-in-law Daniel DuRoss an Atlantic City police officer, was killed on the job. The only benefit his wife received was because of their newborn baby until age 18. When benefits ceased and unaware of this until recent years, Uncle Joe with the aid of New Jersey State Senator James Whelan, passed a bill which changed the benefits to increase and be continuous for surviving spouses of fallen officers in the state of New Jersey. He served his loved ones well and was always there for them.
