With heavy heart, I wish condolences to all family and friends on this sad occasion.
Milosh and Nadja the godparents for me and my brother, Branko. They held us for our baptisms and always showed us their love. I have many fond memories of Kum Mica. I always looked forward to meeting with him. I feel privileged to have experienced his love and attention.
I remember many things. One time we came to visit in St. Cloud I was an elementary school aged kid, Milosh and I were in his garage when a confused hummingbird got trapped. Milosh gently caught it and set it free outdoors. On a different note, I remember answering the phone at my parents’ house in the ’70s (landlines back then and no answering machines) and Milosh wanted to speak with my dad. Before I got my dad on the phone, I asked Kum Mica if he was going to talk to my dad about their WWII experiences. He said, “There are some stories that we only tell to each other.” Of course, this only made me more intrigued and mystified. I miss him dearly. His accomplishments and endurance in the face of overwhelming obstacles have inspired me.
Mnogaya Ljeta – Memory Eternal.

I still remember your prediction that if one was healthy at age 80, we could expect to live to be 100. Looks like you lived up to your prediction. We had many good days working together.
You’ve always cared about me and shown your love. Thank you very, very much, Kum Mića. We love you, and will miss you. You were quite a character! Love from Branko, Laurence, and Lili
