Dan Walter Dobrila joined his beloved father on January 15, 2020.  Left to cherish and honor his memory are his proud mother Zora who could not have had a better son, his sister Valerie, his brother-in-law Vic, his son Dan Peter, and two nieces, Nina and Ava, who absolutely adored him.  There are countless other family and friends who love him and will forever be changed by his loss. If you are looking for him, you can find him at the beach diving head first into the waves. He will definitely either be at Rehoboth beach in Delaware or Sunken Meadow or Girandella swimming with his Dad.  He will sit next to you on the couch if you’re watching any one of the Rocky movies and you will hear him do the best impressions if you just listen. He will help you prepare Christmas Eve dinner and watch you open presents on Christmas morning. You can find him at a car show so make sure to look out for any red Corvette Stingray convertibles, especially if it’s a ‘72. He will always be with us, no matter where we are, no matter where we go.
