An emotional interview with Mike Dolan, the brother of 63-year-old Terrance “Terry” R. Dolan, sheds light on the tragic incident that claimed the life of the U.S. bank executive. Speaking to the Minnesota Star Tribune, Mike expressed deep sorrow over the loss of his sibling, sharing, “He’s going to be missed a lot. He was a darn good brother.”
The fatal crash occurred on Saturday, March 29, when a small SOCATA TBM7 plane flying from Iowa to Minnesota tragically crashed into a residential home, resulting in the loss of all passengers onboard, as confirmed by authorities. The Brooklyn Park Fire Department promptly responded to the scene, where they encountered a blazing home with no immediate signs of the aircraft.
Terry Dolan was known for his role as a vice chair at U.S. Bancorp, where he utilised his financial acumen to support various civic causes. His untimely passing has been mourned by colleagues and community members alike, with U.S. Bancorp CEO Andy Cecere highlighting Terry’s exceptional qualities as both a professional and a person.
Tim Marx, former CEO and president of Catholic Charities, also paid tribute to Dolan’s impactful contributions as a board member, describing him as a compassionate and dedicated individual who brought joy and inspiration to those around him.
As the 10th of 13 siblings, Terry leaves behind his wife Susan Mix, two daughters, and six grandchildren. While the aviation tragedy claimed no survivors from the plane, the occupants of the residence that was struck by the aircraft escaped physically unharmed, a stroke of fortune amidst the chaos.
Survivor Kenneth Tobacman recounted the harrowing moment of impact, emphasising the split-second timing that saved his wife, who happened to be outside with their dog at the time of the crash. As investigations into the cause of the accident continue, the community grapples with the profound loss of a respected figure and the heart-wrenching aftermath of the disastrous event.
Efforts to ascertain the circumstances leading to the fatal crash are underway, with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) expected to release a preliminary report within the coming weeks. While the tragic incident has left a void in the lives of many, the resilience and support of the community serve as a beacon of hope amidst the tragedy.
