Jozo was a dedicated INCO employee, retiring in 1994. In retirement, he enjoyed his daily long walks, working in his garden, winemaking and most importantly spending time with his grandchildren. He was always generous and loved to share his hospitality with everyone, offering food, wine or just good company. “Tata“ instilled in us the ethic of hard work and the importance of family.
