Daniel Drago Obituary
Daniel Drago of North Branford passed away unexpectedly on Friday, March 5 with his beloved wife Fadoua (Zerrouki) by his side. He was the son of Judith Gargamelli Cole and predeceased by his father Emanuel Drago and stepfather Stephen Cole. He is survived by his loving sister Diana Bunton (Bill) of Branford. He also leaves his nephews Cooper and Max whom he adored and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Daniel was born in New Haven on January 11, 1964. He was a financial advisor at Webster Bank for many years.
Dan so enjoyed his nights out with the guys, golfing excursions, dining out with his wife, and traveling, especially his trip to Morocco with his wife to spend time with her family by whom he was considered a son. He was extra special to Myriam and he loved it when she said you are my favorite Uncle.
Friends may call Tuesday from 4-7 P.M. at the W.S. Clancy Memorial Funeral Home, 244 North Main St. Branford. Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers memorial donations in his name may be made to the American Heart Association, 5 Brookside Drive, Wallingford, CT 06492. Please see his online memorial @ www.wsclancy.com.

My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Dan. I just just heard news of his passing from a Webster Bank account manager who now handles my account. To learn of this two days before Christmas will surely dampen my spirits. Dan was one of the most likable people I have ever met. He genuinely cared for his clients and I appreciated his advice and guidance. We would talk cars, sports and just about anything. I am so very sorry for your loss. God bless Dan.

I just found out today that Dan has left us. I cannot believe that he is gone. He has been a wonderful friend to me. I have known him form work and have been friends over 17 years. I can not express how sorry I am to know this and my sincere condolences to his wife Fadoua, his mom, sister and his nephews. I just can’t believe that I will not talk to him again. I am so sad, please let me know if I can help in any way. It was my privilege to know him, May God bless his soul..
