It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Neil Dolson on April 23.

Neil served on the Oxford Community Foundation board for many years, bringing dedication, warmth, and a deep love for this community to everything he did. A devoted family man who was immensely proud of his children and grandchildren, Neil dedicated his career to agriculture and never stopped believing in the power of giving back — and he lived that belief every day.

Together with his wife Gail, Neil established the Dolson Family Fund, ensuring his generosity will continue supporting local community initiatives in Oxford County for generations to come.
We are grateful for everything Neil gave to this community and to our Foundation. He will be deeply missed.

Our thoughts are with Gail and the Dolson family.
