Obituary of Daniel F. Doll

Daniel F. Doll, 80 years old, of Hebron passed away peacefully at home with his daughter by his side on Friday July 25, 2025.  For over 60 years Dan was together with the love of his life his late wife Dorothy (Levasseur) Doll.  Now they will be reunited.

Born in Manchester, he was the son of the late Walter and Mary (Conrad) Doll.  Dan is survived by his brother Jeff, his identical twin David and his sister Linda.  He is also survived by his daughter Amy Hartman, her husband Philip and three beautiful granddaughters Felicia, Kira and Vanessa.

After graduating MHS, Dan went on to study history at Trinity College in Hartford.  Once he graduated, he became a social studies teacher in Glastonbury starting at Gideon Wells and moving on to Glastonbury High School.  He loved teaching and tremendously enjoyed his students.  When Dan had a difficult student, he would place a full-size cardboard likeness of the professional wrestler The Undertaker behind the student.  He said that it worked particularly well.  Even though Dan loved teaching one of his favorite things was his laid off for lack of work parties at the end of the school year with his fellow teachers.

There was more to Dan Doll than just teaching.  He was an accomplished carpenter thanks to living in a 300 year-old house.  Dan was always willing to build a shed or remake a kitchen.  Dan was an avid scuba diver who dove all over the world.  He studied coral bleaching and routinely gave lectures on the subject.  He was also a skier.  When his knees made downhill skiing difficult, he took up cross country skiing with his wife.

Calling hours will be held on Friday, August 15 2025 from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Mulryan Funeral Home, 725 Hebron Ave., Glastonbury.  Dan was not a formal person and would appreciate dress be colorful and casual.  Hawaiian shirts were his favorite.  For online condolences, please visit www.mulryanfh.com.
