Extending my deepest sympathies to the Dragovich family for the passing of your beloved Dave. Matthew 5:4 says "Happy are those who mourn, since they will be comforted."

Dave came to my home in April for a visit with two other P&G friends since I am unable to travel because of the same health problems Dave had. For that reason am sorry I won't be able to extend my condolences personally. It was wonderful to see him and reminisce about the past years, including the pig roasts he did at our home several times. My sympathy to you, Pat, and to his loving family. He was a good man and will be greatly missed.
