Cedomir Bojovic

October 16, 1927 - November 24, 2020

Cedomir Bojovic was born 1927 in the village of Bojovice, near the small town of Andrijevica, Montenegro, to mother Ikonija (nee Dzudovic) and father Milovan Bojovic. He grew up in a large family, along with three sisters: Rabija, Andjelija and Milosava and four brothers: Dragomir, Radoslav, Radomir and Ratomir. The family went through hard times during the Second World War: in 1943 their house was burned to the ground and that same year Cedomir’s elder brother Dragomir died of pneumonia aged 16. After the War, Cedomir helped his father rebuild the house. He carried the timber for the new house on his shoulders from a distant mountain, Zeletin (Prokletije mountains). After finishing school, he served a three-year compulsory military service in Bitola (Macedonia), Djakovica (Kosovo and Metohija) and returned home and assisted his father in his carpentry business. Later on, he got a job in Slovenia, in the town of Gustanj, where he spent several years studying and modelling craft. Afterwards, he moved to Austria where, in the town of Klagenfurt, he met his future wife +Marija+ with whom he subsequently had nine children. They married in 1955 in Nuremberg, Germany, where their first son Momcilo was born and in 1956 they moved to the United States. He was always eager to help his family in Montenegro and Serbia, despite numerous obligations in his new homeland and came to visit as often as possible while his parents were alive. He is survived by his children: Momcilo (Vojka), Milan (Dee Dee), Petar (Sandy), Alex (Inez), Thomas (Gina), Milovan (Millie), & Branko (Sheila) Bojovic and many grand and great grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his son and daughter +Bogoljub+ and +Dobrila+.
