Beyond his professional achievements, Boris was a man of warmth and personality. His colleagues remember him as someone who could balance the pressures of management with a lighthearted spirit. This was perhaps best illustrated by the planned "welcome back pranks" his team had prepared for his return from vacation on August 2nd, 2022—a return that sadly never happened.
Remembering Boris Radojicic: A Legacy of Hard Work and Connection
The Radojicic household was modest. There was no indoor plumbing until Boris was ten, and meals were simple but hearty. It was in this environment that young Boris developed his famous work ethic. By the age of seven, he was helping tend the family’s small plot of land; by twelve, he was delivering newspapers on a rusty bicycle he had repaired himself. Neighbors recall a serious boy with dark, thoughtful eyes who would stop to help elderly villagers carry water—a trait he would never lose.

Born on March 12, 1945, in the small village of Srbobran, Boris came into the world just as the Second World War was drawing to a close. He was the first child of Mihailo and Jovanka Radojicic, both teachers who instilled in him a love for literature and the principles of časnost (honesty) and drugarstvo (comradeship). Growing up in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Boris witnessed the nation’s hopeful reconstruction from the ashes of war.
