Dear Kuma Maca, George, Ruzica and families, Please accept my deepest condolences at Kum Stipe's passing. I know he suffered a lot with his health these last many years. It was a truly difficult situation for him and your entire family. I have very fond memories of Kum Stipe, and your entire household and family. I remember as if it was yesterday when George and I would stay at each others houses for the weekend when our uncles would take us on their trips to Windsor and Waterloo. Like yesterday, I remember how Kum Stipe would give George money so that the two of us could ride bikes to the pool hall and play billiards. I have always considered what decent character Kum Stipe had and what a good man he was. I am truly sorry I did not get a chance to visit with him over these last few years when I was living in the US with my family. I hope that your family will get through this difficult period. It is never easy. Each of you have your own mourning that you must go through in your own way. You and your families are in my prayers, 'just as I also pray for Kum Stipe's departed soul. Once again, my sincere condolences, Petar Granic with wife Kata and children
