It is with overwhelming sadness that we announce the passing of our dear husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather Zdravko on January 5, 2022 at the age of 91, after a lengthy battle with cancer. Beloved husband of 72 years to Mileva, cherished father to Ranka (Milos) and adored grandfather and great-grandfather to Natalija, Nemanja, Mila and Maya.
