Cika Bozo and Teta Maria were two of the strong, brave people who came to this country after WWII tore their lives apart in Europe. They, along with the other parents of our generation of Serbians were a very important part of our lives. We learned so much from them, and enjoyed their company so very much. With Cika Bozo's passing they are almost all gone now, and will be missed more than we can say. Cika Bozo always added much to whatever event we all attended together. He was easy to talk to, interesting, and had a good sense of humor. His accomplishments in this country attest to his character -- he and Teta Maria started over in a strange country, not knowing the language, and managed to raise their family, live comfortably, and gather many friends. We will never forget him.
