A very precise, ambitious man, and an original vintage Zagreb gentleman of the bygone era.
As a patient for many years, he was loyal and of the most cooperative kind.
Our sincere condolences to Nada and Diana. Our thoughts and hearts are with you during this time of grieving.
Sincerely,
Vlasta and Mladen
