July 10, 1954 - April 1, 2021
Vince Dooley of Lodi, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend passed away at home surrounded by his loving family.
Vince was born July 10, 1954 to Vernon and Eileen Dooley in Tracy, California and was the 5th of 7 siblings. He attended St. Bernards Catholic school and graduated from Tracy High School in 1972.

He was an avid woodworker, metal worker, and loved hunting, fishing and camping. Vince spent his retirement traveling to several NASCAR tracks around the country with family and friends. He kept very busy tackling a never ending list of projects. His favorite pastime was spending time with his grandchildren.
