Ivica Loncar

Mr. Loncar was long time present in Silicon Valley servicing semiconductor industry with quartz glass components. He was working for prominent quartz companies for more than 40 years including Quartz International and West Coast Quartz Corp.

Mr. Loncar was born April 16th 1960 in Sisak, Croatia and he spent his early life growing up in village of Stari Brod. In 1976. he joined his late brother Stjepan in Silicon Valley to learn all secrets of glassblowing industry and art and become one of the best manufacturer of quartz components. The way silicon wafers were increasing in size from 2” to 4”, 6”, 8” and 12” so his products in quartz materials became bigger, more stringent and complex. However, he never succumbed to ever growing technical challenges and successfully accomplished everything that was needed in quartz for processing silicon wafers into microchips.

Ivica had passion for science and biology which showed in his love for nature and animals and truly enjoyed hiking and driving along the local Milpitas hills. He was very talented fisherman always eager to introduce his friends to enjoy fishing together.

He liked watching and reading science fiction, was fan of 49rs and Shark’s. At the time, he was a good soccer player on Croatian soccer tournaments. He had a love for gardening and barbecuing with his cousins and friends.

Mr. Loncar’s friendly smile, always willing to help will be remembered by those who knew him for his humility and quiet demeanor. He was loved and will be missed by many.
