Daniel Rogala Obituary

ROGALA, DANIEL L. (DONNIE) 84, passed away peacefully into the arms of Jesus on Sunday, April 22nd, 2007, surrounded by his loving family - just as he had prayed. Our dad was a wonderful father, husband, grandfather and great-grandfather and will be truly missed. His "unique" sense of humor and willingness to help with any circumstance occurring in our lives will always be remembered. He never judged our decisions, but was always supportive no matter the outcome. Donnie was pre-deceased by his mother, Katherine; father, Joseph; and brothers, Albin and Alfred. He is survived by his loving and beautiful wife of 56 years, Mary (Garner), who stood by him throughout their marriage, especially during his failing health; his eight children, Mary Catherine, Nancy, Donna, Carol, Daniel Junior, Theresa, Pamela, and Joseph; seven grandchildren, Racheal, Stephanie, Shelby, Heather, Brittany, Taylor, and Haley; and his four great-grandchildren, John, Thomas, Cassandra and Amanda. Mass will be at St. Martha's Catholic Church on Wednesday, April 25th, 9:00am in Murrieta, CA. with the final resting place being the Riverside National Cemetery at 11:30am. Services Directed By: EVANS BROWN MORTUARY (951) 679-1114
