Post #8-Kindness for Papou

Hi everyone,

A local doctor from Hopkins, Minnesota visited the same Dairy Queen on a daily basis to get a treat, which was 30 miles away.  He lived for acts of kindness.  He always tried to get to know his patients on more of a personal level.  Six months ago, Dr. David Dragotis, came down with esophageal cancer and ended up staying at the same hospital he practiced at.  Up until his death, Dr. Dragotis wrote prescriptions for his patients.  In hopes of letting his kind spirit live on, his granddaughters decided to pay his kindness forward.  They went to the local Dairy Queen that their father had visited each day, and they gave the manager $200 to pay for everyone’s ice cream until the money ran out.  They also included flyers of his father’s story.  When some people heard about the story, it brought tears to their eyes.  This is one way for his family members to fill the hole which their father had left them.  When others heard about the story, they also began donating in his honor.  I hope that you enjoyed reading. A link to a video is below.
