Gerrit Jan Doeleman was born on 17 October 1926 in Aalten. He obtained his HBS-A secondary-school diploma in 1945 and his teaching qualification in 1947. He then worked as a teacher in Barlo and IJzerlo.
Doeleman continued his studies and obtained teaching qualifications in English at primary level and in Dutch and German at secondary level. He subsequently became a teacher at the MULO secondary school in Aalten. Former pupils remembered him, among other things, as a geography teacher. After the reorganisation of secondary education, he worked at the HAVO-Atheneum school in Aalten. He took early retirement in 1985.
On 1 August 1950 he married Johanna Ter Horst in Aalten. Alongside his work in education, Doeleman was involved with horses and carriage driving. He held a qualification to teach horse driving.
In the early 1970s Doeleman bought the former school building of the public primary school in IJzerlo. The building was subsequently used, among other things, for keeping horses.
