It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of José in his 87th year. Beloved husband of Anna (nee Čulig) of 63 years. Loving father of Graciela and Danny (Paula). Cherished Deda of Matthew, Alexander and Joseph. Dear brother of Viktoria (Alexandar), Zorka (Vid) and Janko (Barbara). He will be missed by his nieces, nephews, kumovi, extended family and friends.
José was an avid gardener and took great pride in his ability to graft and nurture fruit trees. He worked hard throughout his life and took great pride in the work he did. He was a devoted family man, enjoyed traveling with his wife and a loving grandfather who cherished every moment spent with his grandchildren. He was a loyal friend, was selfless and generous, always willing to lend a helping hand and be there for those who needed him. Rest in Peace. Until we meet again.
A special thank you to Janko and his family for their unwavering support over the years, and especially for being there during the past couple of months. Special thank you to the staff at Madison Village for their compassion and care.
