Zdenko Dujmovic passed away at home surrounded by his loving family on September 19, 2023 at the age of 88.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 62 years, Viktorija Dujmovic, his devoted children, Viki Hughes (Peter) and Edward Dujmovic (Wendy), and his grandchildren, Samantha, Sarah, Megan, Allison and Matthew.

Zdenko was born in 1934 to Rafael and Marija Dujmovic in Draga Bašcanska, on the island of Krk, in Croatia. He was preceded in death by his only brother Anton Dujmovic.

Disenchanted with communism, Zdenko escaped the former Yugoslavia (now Croatia) in 1958 for Paris, France leaving behind his sweetheart Viktorija. He began writing to her to join him. It took a little over 2 years, but he convinced her to make the journey, escaping Croatia on her own to join him in Paris, where they were married in May of 1961. Zdenko had trained as a carpenter in Croatia, and found a job building displays in Parisian department store windows. Even though he enjoyed his time in France, Zdenko's goal was always to come to America. He and Viktorija were able to immigrate to the United States in 1962, initially settling in Philadelphia PA.

Not long after coming to the United States, Zdenko was able to find work as a carpenter, and went on to form his own construction company, working with other developers to help build thousands of homes throughout southern New Jersey during his 35 year career.

When he finally retired, Zdenko was able to spend more time in his beloved Croatia, splitting his time between the United States and his beautiful island home of Krk, Croatia. He enjoyed puttering in his garden, bowling, playing bocce or a game of cards with his friends and spending time with his family. Zdenko and Viktorija were also avid dancers and made a beautiful pair on the dance floor.
