Dolloff, Arthur Stephen, “Steve,” 72, of Riverside, died unexpectedly on November 25, 2021. He was the beloved husband of Patricia Ann (DeLuca) Dolloff.

Throughout his long career Steve was a marine contractor and an industrial electrician.
He was a sailboat builder for C&C Yachts, Middletown from 1979-1981. During the 1980s he worked at various marinas along Narragansett Bay and was employed as the service manager for Sailboats Northeast. Starting his own marine contracting business in 1989, he was the owner and operator of Northeast Yacht Services for many years.
Most recently he was employed as an industrial electrician, building electrical panels for large manufacturing equipment.
Steve enjoyed boating and sailing his whole life. He was also an avid auto racing and car enthusiast and enjoyed working on his Saab automobiles. He truly was a jack-of-all-trades who could fix anything.

To Steve’s family. I was both surprised and saddened to hear of Steve’s passing. I spent two summers working for and learning from Steve at Sailboats Northeast. Being around Steve was an amazing learning experience. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the construction and commissioning of sailboats, but he was willing to show me the best way to “fix” boat problems. For being such a good and patient teacher, I will forever be grateful. My prayers and condolences to all.
