KOLICH John Drago Feb. 15, 1946 - Oct. 23, 2009 Tragically taken from us Oct. 23, 2009. Loving husband of Christine, beloved and cherished father of Jacqui and her husband Con, Adam, Brad, Ashleigh and James. You were taken before we could say goodbye. We love you and will miss you so very much. I miss your laughter, fun and gentleness. I miss the things I used to do for you. I miss the time now filled with emptiness, when each day was a stage for something new. I miss your love, though mine will be eternal, a passion with no outlet. I miss your presence. I miss for my love's labour, the reward of seeing some pleasure in your face. All these I miss and yet they are all here within my heart far more than I can bear. Sleep my darling "love you". "Put it on 15" - Your loving wife, Chris. As a beautiful loving father, you were always there with open arms, always compassionate and you always had the ability to make us laugh. I was always made to feel like one of Daddy's little girls, no matter how old.We will miss you but we know you are watching over us. Thank you for the countless happy memories you have left for us. I promise you, we will look out for Mum and the kids. Words can't describe how much you will be missed or how deeply we love you. Love always - Jacqui and Con. I have lost my father but I have lost so very much more. I have lost my idol. I have lost my teacher. I have lost my mentor I have lost my best friend. I promise you that I will take care and make you proud of all aspects of life itself including family and business. You will be forever etched into my heart and soul. `Like father, like son' Love - Your son Brad. You were always so happy and just being around you and seeing your smile, would make me smile. You always made me feel special and loved, because you had such a caring nature. There was nothing that made me happier than being able to spend time with you while you did the things you loved. You taught me so much and my life won't be the same without you. I will cherish every memory that has been blessed with your presence. The silly things you would do would brighten up my day, and they will never be forgotten.You were always there for me and words can't explain how much I will miss you, though I know you will be looking down over all of us. You were like no other and no one even compares to you. You were the most caring, genuine man I know and I will always love you. - Your beloved daughter Ashleigh. I will miss the loyal and generous man you were. Always helping everybody. You will be loved and missed as an honest, generous caring man who I one day want to grow up to be. You will be forever missed and loved. Love - James. Details of the funeral will be announced shortly.
