Obituary of Branislav Najdanovic

Branislav "Branko" Najdanovic, born in Belgrade, Serbia January 14, 1930, son of Dragomir and Katarina Najdanovic, died February 8, 2015 at his home in Vineland. Born and raised in Serbia until the age of 28, he decided to leave his home in search of freedom. He escaped communism by fleeing to Germany where he met and married his wife, Margot (Weismann) of 55 years. After several years in Germany they immigrated to Winnipeg, Canada, where they had their first child, daughter Jelena (Sias). Never one to rest, he moved his family to the United States to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming a U.S. citizen. After settling in Cleveland, OH, he had his second child, Branko. As middle age approached, Branislav, a master bookbinder, wanted to fulfill his second dream of becoming a small business owner and moved his family to Vineland, NJ. In 1978 he opened Branko's Bookbinding & Print Shop, a labor of love that he successfully operated for over 35 years. Branislav, was a respected member of the community and loved by all that knew him. His sense of humor and love of people were his most endearing qualities. He will be greatly missed and will join his wife, Margot, in eternity. Please join us in memory, at his residence, 2070 S. Delsea Dr., Vineland on Saturday, February 21st from 9am to 1pm.
