Drago Dolar

The Dolar family of Novato remembers and celebrates their patriarch, Drago, who passed away peacefully and in the midst of his loving family, on January 2, 2016 after a 15-month battle with cancer. Drago was 80 years old and is survived by his wife, Virginia and his three children Steven, Mark and Lisa, four grandchildren, three sisters and many loving nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by his parents and four brothers. Drago was born in Bosnia, part of the former Yugoslavia, and proudly became a U.S. citizen in 1955. He enjoyed a lifelong career with Caltrans, where he worked passionately to keep California's highways safe and beautiful. Drago also enjoyed photography, travel and sports, particularly football and soccer. In 1984, Drago returned to his native country for the Winter Olympics as an interpreter for journalists with Associated Press; he spoke Serbo-Croatian, German, Polish, Russian and English, all fluently. Drago was especially honored to have a working role at this peaceful gathering of nations. The family would like to give a special thanks to Ana Dolar, Elena Mello, and Katherine Hoey for all of their extra care and attention to Drago.
