Ilija Dukic

My condolences to the family.

A story: When I first passed my broker's exam in '99 I joined an over-flow group at Schwab called "Star Traders" and began taking live customer orders; for the uninitiated this was a very stressful endeavor. Ilija was a supervisor for the group walking the floor, answering questions and helping out. He was such a patient guy, so easy going and willing to help. You never felt bad asking him the same dumb question multiple times, he never got frustrated, or...

Ilija was the book of life, everything one should be, would like to be and dream of being.
To honor Ilija spread all his kindness, laughter and wisdome to the four corners of the earth. And remember Ilija will never leave us, for he has touched our souls and hearts for ever.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Ilija for many years by working with him at Schwab. I will miss his visits to me in Indy and the phone calls from SF. He was a friend of mine - one who could always make me laugh. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

Dear Dukic Family,

My sincerest condolences and sympathies for your loss. I worked with Ilija at Schwab in Indianapolis. He was a man of unique and remarkable character with a sense of humor everyone appreciated. Ilija's compassion for others, his strong commitment to integrity and goodness, and his unwavering dedication earned him the respect and admiration of us all. He experienced much difficulty in health yet he never complained or felt sorry for himself - rather, he endured...

I had the pleasure of meeting Ilija through Schwab. I always ran in to Ilija at lunch time or the copy room. He knew exactly what to say to get a smile or giggle out of me. When I wasn’t feeling up to par, he’d tell me a story to keep me distracted. I miss my run-in’s with Ilija. I miss his jokes and stories. I miss his friendly face at lunch, but most of all I miss my co-worker, a person who went out of their way to put a smile on my face. My condolences go to Ilija's family and friends.

I have known and worked with Ilija for many years here at Charles Schwab. I can say without hesitation that we were friends. We use to meet mornings for breakfast and he would share his stories from his adventures with the Police Department. We all will miss him here at Schwab. To his family I say "don't worry because he truly sit's at the right hand of God". He was a good soul.

It's hard to believe Ilija is gone from us. He was an accomplished storyteller and relentless in investigations. We had occasion to work together over the past 8 years. He was witty yet thorough. May God comfort his family at this time of grief.

To Ilija's Family,

I worked with Ilija at Schwab and I was always in awe of his positive and vibrant energy. I am so sorry for your loss. Ilija will be greatly missed.
