Drago "Jack" Prodanovich

Still missing my dad after so many years. I think of him often because I'm surrounded in so many memories with him. He was so much fun to learn from. He is truly missed by so many of us who knew him. Love you Dadbo!

Jack...what a guy. Amazing athlete, innovator and inventor.

Not somehow, but triumphantly!
Dear Kristy,
Our prayers are with you in the loss of your wonderful father. What a legacy he's left to everyone who knew him.
Love, Doug & Lucy

In your memories...in your heart....
your father will be with you always.
With deepest sympathy.

We know you have some great memories of him, not only special ones you only know, but of the great legacy world wide he leaves for the oceans. You must have been very proud of him too. We
hope that you and your family are doing OK and we are thinking of...
