CRESTWOOD, IL -- Services are set for a Crestwood father of three, who was shot March 7 driving through Robbins on his way home from to work. Bill Dolehide, 56, suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head. His family kept him on life support at Advocate Christ Medical Center so his organs could be donated.
Dolehide was a popular soccer coach at the Crestwood Soccer Club. He was a eucharistic minister volunteered for many other services and activities at Incarnation Church in Palos Heights.
Dolehide's body will lie in state from 3 to 9 p.m. Friday, March 16, at the Crestwood Recreation and Wellness Center, 5331 W 135th St. A funeral Mass will take place the next morning at 11 a.m. Saturday, March 17, at Incarnation Catholic Church, 5757 W 127th St., Palos Heights
Friends started a GoFundMe campaign which has already raised $50,000. Monies raised will go toward Dolehide's children's education.
I wonder if Bill Dolehide is related to the Dolehide family of doctors with a practice on Western Ave.
I am very sorry to hear about this tragedy and will pray for him and his family. Maybe I am out of the loop but I did not hear anything about this. Was this a random gun shot or was this foul play?
ReplyDeleteI don't believe he was related to the Dentists on Western. He grew up swimming at West Communities YMCA at 63rd and Homan. He swam and played water polo at Brother Rice. He continued water polo at Uof I in Champaign and toured the country as an all star goalie afterwards. He coached and refereed both water polo and soccer and was a Deacon at his church in Palos. He was shot while driving west on 135th st on his way to a Soccer club meeting. A driver in another car was also shot. The media has totally ignored this story.
ReplyDeleteHad it been a black guy driving through a white neighborhood it would have been all over the news.
ReplyDeleteI see the Cook County Sheriff is investigating the shooting, which means the killer will never be brought to justice. Now had it been a puppy being shot their would have been multiple "Tom Dart News Conferences" by now with the sheriff's top investigators on the case.
ReplyDeleteWHY WASN't this reported in the media?
ReplyDeleteBecause the victim was only a white guy.
DeleteMSN suppresses any crime committed by blacks.
DeleteI know we always ask ourselves this question, and in our hearts we KNOW why? It doesn't fit the media template that they like to stamp on events. It doesn't fit the narrative of poor oppressed black folks being mistreated by the evil white male. In reality the perp was likely a black teen gang banger and would not be surprised if it was an initiation into the gang ...."kill a white person". If the other victim is white why aren't we asking if these were purposeful hate crimes? Oh yeah I answered that already.
DeleteHe was in a No Go Zone. Like the ones in Sweden and Germany.
ReplyDeleteHas Tom Darts puppy patrol caught the killer yet?
ReplyDeleteProbably not as they couldn't count their balls and come up with the same number twice, they're to busy chasing craigslist hookers and saving puppies to actually solve a murder.
