MICHAEL DOMBROWSKI Obituary

DOMBROWSKI, MICHAEL CRAIG August 29, 1945 to August 13, 2011 Mike was born and raised in the San Diego area. He resided in the Casa de Oro and Spring Valley areas for the majority of his life. Mike unexpectedly died of a heart attack in the prime of his life. He will be sorely missed by his friend of over 40 years, Mike Healey. Mike is also survived by his wife Alma and her extended family. Mike was preceded in death by his mother, Lucille Dombrowski. Mike was a friend who can never be replaced and I will truly miss him the rest of my life. Mike, I know you are waiting for me so we can go fishing once again. Your best friend - until we meet again!

Mike, I will always remember you fondly-- you were one of the gang in junior high and high school. But I'll especially remember because you were the only person I knew then that shared the same birthday. You were a pretty great guy then and reading what Mike Healey wrote, appears you became an even greater guy. My deepest sympathies to him, your family, and friends. My sisters knew you then too and both send their heartfelt sympathies as well. Via con Dios, Mike.

Mikey---we will truly miss you and your goofy laugh. Hubby thought the world of you, and I can see a part of his heart is just missing without you and your treasured friendship. Hope you are up there and enjoying your mom and uncle once again.

Mike, so sorry you didn't have the chance to enjoy your retirement.
Thanks for teaching me the ropes at KAI and always calling me "Kid"!
I too enjoyed our talks and hearing about your family and fun times with Healy. Rest in peace Mikey!!

Mike, you went too early but judging by the conversations we had about your various experiences, you made the most of everything! Hope to see you again some day.

I'll miss you Mike but I know I'll see you again. I'll never forget the fun talks we had in your cubby-hole room at KAI. You were and are a real stand-up kind of guy. May God bless you and watch over you. Until we can meet again my friend!!!
