On behalf of President/Chief Administrator David Eustis and the entire Northwest Catholic High School community, I offer my deepest sympathy on the passing of Edward Dombek.
Because his grandchildren, Andrea Dombek '09 and Jack Dombek '13, are cherished members of our school family, we feel that Edward was, too, and we mourn his death along with all those who love him.
Please know that we are holding everyone in the Dombek family very close to our hearts this week, and that we will include Edward on the prayer list at our first school-wide Mass in September. We are very sorry for your loss.
