Born and raised in Queens, N.Y., Mr. Dollard graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School and went on to Cornell University on a track scholarship. He lived for 30 years in Briarcliff Manor in New York’s suburban Westchester County where he raised his family and was an active community volunteer.

After he retired in 1994, Mr. Dollard and his wife, Barbara, moved to her hometown of Princeton where the couple lived briefly before purchasing 30 acres in Hopewell Township and building a home where they live today.

Their settlement in Hopewell provides proximity to their grown son, Christopher, a resident of Skillman, and three grandsons. The couple has two other grown children, Cary and John, both of whom live in New York.

Mr. Dollard holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Cornell and a master’s degree in business administration from New York University.
