DOLEJS, Donald F. May 3, 1930 – Jan 25, 2013 Born May 3, 1930 in Omaha, Nebraska, to Frank and Edith Dolejs. He attended Our Lady of Lourdes Grade School and Creighton Prep High School, graduating in 1948. After attending Nebraska University for two years, he entered the United States Coast Guard and served two years during the Korean Conflict. When he returned to Omaha, he finished his college courses, graduating in 1956 with a B.A. in Business Administration. Also in 1956 he married Mary Kay King. He went to work for Dunn and Bradstreet for four years before entering his fathers business as an Anheuser Busch wholesaler. Upon his fathers death, Don became the sole owner of the business and operated it for forty-one years. During his years in Fremont, Nebraska he loved his work as a Bud Man and was a major figure in all business-related functions of his dear Fremont and the area he served. He held state and local positions dealing with the economic development of the government, serving at the state level with the Nebraska Economic Commission as well as the Fremont Area Community Foundation. He chaired both commissions with pride and love. He served for four years, two of them as chairman, on Budweisers national board Wholesaler Panel. He was active with the Elks and Eagles, and also with the Boy Scouts of America. His love of Fremont was surpassed only by his love of his family.
