Walldog, Victor Drapal, passed from cancer. He lived close to us in the south Chicago suburbs and was a regular at most walldog meets. He was a humble and hard working painter and fun to be around. He was eager to get in there and help and was fearless when it came to heights.
Those who knew him will be shocked and saddened by this news. Everybody liked the man -- he was so easy to get along with. I will miss him and his thick Joliet accent.

Vic was a true friend to all. You ask him to help and all you heard was, how can I help, what do need, and when should I be there. If Walldogs was a band, he be the drummer keeping it altogether. I think he did his last wall with us. Keeping us laughing throughout. A Brother lost entirely to young.

Rest in peace Vic.
