I worked with Dragan for many years at ODTC (now Genesee Lake School) He was a great boss and I will aways be grateful for all of the support, guidance and opportunities he provided to me. His role in helping countless numbers of children make it through each day will not be forgotten. Rest in Peace Dragan.

I knew Dragan growing up and shared this on Facebook and wanted the family to know just how great a friend he was. So when we played football in the street on 32nd St. He would always throw me the ball, now the question is did I catch it. Maybe not always, but he never gave up on me! Now that's a great friend! Nor did he give up on Anyone for the matter! RIP Dragan, you and your family are in my prayers!

My deepest sympathy goes out to all of Dragon's family. I worked with him at Salvatore's Restaurant for many years. He was such a sweet gentle young man. Couldn't help but feel like he was one of the Salvatore family from day one. So glad I got to see him at our reunion a few years ago to see him as the man he grew into. He talked so proudly of his family. He will be so greatly missed. Love to the whole family. Marilyn Thierbach
