Dear Dr. Claudia,

We have never forgotten about you or your Dad, you are in our conversations often. I was very sad when I read about your loss. Not only were you our dentists, but you were our friends. I hope you will be able to go on and remember the good times. It has been 4 years since I have lost my Dad and I know it is not an easy thing. I just wish you and your family the best and hope you will proceed with a happy heart and remember all the wonderful times, as that helps me. As always in my thoughts and in my prayers. Dr.Ralph was a wonderful person with a wonderful family.

Peggy DePue and Family.

We are grateful that our paths crossed.

Dr. Dado was our dentist for all five of us. He was a fun guy. Loved the lava lamps!

I worked for Dr. Dado right out of high school. He was like a second father to me. He will be greatly missed. I will always remember his big smile & of course his famous cigars & pipe.

My very first job at age 16 was working part-time for Dr. Dado. I remember him well as a very kind, patient man who loved to chat with his patients. Please accept my sympathies for your loss.
