NOTES: There are conflicting edit suggestions for this memorial. Death Certificate signed by wife who was supposedly born in the same place, states place of birth as Yugoslavia, which at the time of birth was not yet a country. 1 member has suggested Fuzine, Mestna občina Ljubljana, Osrednjeslovenska, Slovenia. (no source.) Another has suggested Benkovac Fuzinski,Općina Fužine,Primorsko-goranska,Croatia. This source is illegible and shows the first name as Ivan, (surname illegible but suggested as Tadej, with parents cut off of source.) There is no explanation for the difference in name from Ivan to John, however it's known that a Slovic translation for Ivan can be John. The sending contributor has indicated they do not wish to further pursue their suggestion. (The first appears to be a merge with no documentation.) Info will be left as per the death certificate signed by his wife.
