I was so sorry to come across the notice of passing for Mr. Milosevich. I dated his son Luka for a time in High School and I felt such love and kindness from his father. His giant smile always made me feel at home. God's blessings to his lovely wife and the entire Milosevich family.

On behalf of my family in Canada and mom Dana Prtilo (nee Miceta)from Trebinje Herzegovina, our sincere condolences for loss of our grandfather and mom's uncle...He was a true legend. I remember him coming in Yugoslavia for first time - I practiced English with him... we were in contact while he was alive - what a great life and family he had... Everyone back home would remember those difficult times after World War II, when his family were all gone except his sister Milica (my grandmother) and his brother Novo... thanks to grandfather Luka who helped them with shipment from America with food and clothes to survive... my grandmother Milica saw his brother for first time in 1960's when he sponsored her to come ....He is truly blessed having such nice family his wife Vera and his children and many grandchildren.. and lots of relatives back home his homeland Herzegovina... My heart goes to all of you. Please keep in touch. I am Milica Opacic (nee Prtilo), living in Canada now (almost 20 yrs)...I travel often to Los Angelese and would love to meet my extgended family and to introduce them with my children and my husband.

Luka is a true legend; he experienced many tragedies as well as joys in his life. I know that he loved his family very much, and they loved him. Love to Vera, Joy, Donna, Louie, and Tomo and Jovo, who will see dad soon. Stefanie Salata Davis
