Not sure what to say?

Dear Danica, Rob, Zorka and family
It is with deep sadness that I heard of the passing of Gojko. Having only met him within the last few years, now I can only wish I had visited with him more often. I remember meeting a man who was a loving human soul and upon reading about his life, he was obviously able to cultivate people and transform personalities for the greater good. He did his part, may we remember his example and carry on. When the Bells ring at our Church of the Holy Assumption...

Dear Dana & Family,

I want you to know that you are all in my prayers. I wish I could have been at the sevices for Gordon, but I was there in spirit. I will always remember Gordon for his beautiful smile, his cheerful laugh, and the special hugs he gave me. I can hear him saying my name as I write this. One day we will all be together again.

Love your God-daughter-Joan

Gordon and his family have been part of our family since before 1927 when his mother was the maid of honor at my parents wedding, in Bisbee AZ. We have remained such close friends right to the end. Somebody was talking about what a hero he was during WW.II. I told them He was a hero from birth and my hero to death. He and his sister are god Parents to our daughter and we will all miss him very much. He is in a better place today.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of Gordons family and many many friends.
I met Gordon in 1945 when he was working on the Sheldon Ranch in Suisun Valley. I learned then what a wonderful soul he had and in the years that followed whenever I would see Gordon he always had a smile and a kind word for me and my family.
He will certainly be missed as he was a wonderful gentleman.

Gordon touched your life and made you a better person. Gordon touched your heart and made you smile. Gordon touched your soul and made you happy. Gordon taught us how to work and how to have fun. Gordon taught us how to laugh and how to live. Gordon taught us how to stand and how to respect. Thank you Gordon

Dana,Babe and I loveed you and Gordon.I have no way to make the trip,but you are thought of in every way.
Love you and your's

Dear Danica and Family, I am extending my deepest sympathies to you and yours. Gordon was such a neat fellow and enjoyed our many meetings in Saratoga. May he rest in peace!

Mr. Gojkovich was a delightful man. In the short time I knew him, I saw a man of great integrity and joy. His joy now knows no boundaries. Rest in peace thou good and faithful servant.
