I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Coach Dobias. I was blessed to have known him and will be forever grateful for the difference he made in my life.

Linda, Bob, Debbie, Lauri, Jeff and Mrs. Dobias;
You're in my thoughts and prayers as you celebrate the life of an honorable father and husband. His life as an educator and coach came secondary to his life as a father and husband. I'll always remember the fun times at your house in EL and my visits to Rand Pond.
Mrs. Dobias, the strength of your family is a direct result of the love you all share.

Debbie, Mrs. Dobias, Bob, Linda, Jeff and Lauri,
I was so saddened to hear about Mr. Dobias. He was a wonderful husband, father, coach and teacher. He made quite the impression on so many young minds throughout his years in EL. I have so many fond memories of high school and times with Deb and the family. He was a great man. My sincere sympathies to you all.
Always in my thoughts and prayers,

My prayers are with the family. I was in "Mr" Dobias's class (math)that he taught at So Hadley High School in 1963. He was a coach, but he was a fine teacher also. Good bye sir, where ever you are.
