Bogdan was born July 23, 1941 in Sudbury and raised in Windsor where his parents were founding members of Gracanica Serbian Eastern Orthodox Church. The Gracanica community became Bogdan’s heart and soul from a young age. Bogdan attended Gordon McGregor P.S., Walkerville C.I., Windsor Teacher's College, and graduated from the University of Windsor with a degree in Sociology. He was employed as an elementary school teacher for the WECDSB until his retirement in 2001 with 35 years of service. He was a respected and caring teacher and coach. He enjoyed working with his hands and always had a project on the go. He was known for his generosity and always extended a helping hand to those in need. We will live on with memories of his love, affection, leadership, friendship, and guidance. We thank him for enriching our lives.
