It was a pleasure to have known Johnny Rukavina for over 60 years. He was always such a nice guy, even tempered, nice smile. I know this is a huge loss for the family and I am so sorry for his unexpected death. It was so nice to have seen him recently...still tall, dark and handsome. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
May he rest in peace and may a Choir of Angels now escort him on his way to Heaven.
Warm Hugs
