Dear Susak family, we are thinking of you at this difficult time and keep you in our prayers. I am privileged to have known Gojko, if even for such short time. He was full of insight, pride for his children's accomplishments, and humour sprinkled with stories of the old country. He will be missed greatly. Please accept our deepest condolences.
