Dako and my dad (Norb) were roommates at the Franciscan Village. Although we only knew Dako for a short time, he was a wonderful man with an infectious smile and a family that loved him dearly. Our condolences to the family. You are in our prayers. Dad and Dako are now both in heaven having the fun we knew they would have together if they could have on earth. God bless.
