With deep sadness and disbelief we inform the SAMDS and SAMS-Tesla members and friends that OUR DEAR AND ONLY PROFESSOR MIODRAG MICA RADULOVACKI has left us forever. We invite all the members and friends of SAMDS and SAMS-Tesla and all the friends of OUR PROFESSOR AND BENEFACTOR, to join us in paying RESPECT TO OUR PROFESSOR.

OUR PROFESSOR will be proud to know that he will be with us, in our hearts, while we are trying to help our suffering people in the flooded areas of our country. He died while he was on a mission to do good, helping our country protect its historical sites and monuments, visiting monasteries, realizing the ecological goals of using solar power in his ECO-HOUSE in Sremski Karlovci…

HE, WHO HAS ALWAYS BEEN GIVING TO OTHERS, WHO WAS OUR FATHER AND MOTHER IN AMERICA, MENTOR, INSPIRATION, MAN WITH THE BIG HEART AND SOUL, PHILANTHROPIST, SCIENTIST, OPTIMIST AND ENTHUSIAST, NOW IS TAKEN AWAY FROM US.

WE WILL CONTINUE HIS WORK, working on all the great projects that he started, but did not have time to complete…

PROFESOR bi bio ponosan da zna da ce biti sa nama, u nasim srcima, dok pokusavamo da pomognemo napacenom poplavljenom narodu nase zemlje. On je preminuo dok je cinio dobra dela i pokusavao da pomogne nasoj zemlji da zastiti spomenike, ocuva manastire, ostvari ekoloske ciljeve koriscenja solarne energije u njegovoj EKO-KUCI u Sremskim Karlovcima...

ON KOJI JE UVEK DAVAO, BIO NAS OTAC I MAJKA U AMERICI, MENTOR, INSPIRACIJA, COVEK VELIKOG SRCA I DUSE, DOBROTVOR, NAUCNIK, OPTIMISTA I ENTUZIJASTA, SADA JE OTET OD NAS.

NASTAVIMO NJEGOVO DELO nasim zalaganjima za dobrocinstva koje je on zapoceo, ali nije uspeo sve da zavrsi…

Vidimo se u Bubamari u sredu, 4. juna, u 19 casova. Adresa: Knjizara Bubamara, 4305 N Kedzie Ave, Chicago, IL 60618.

PROFESORE, ZAUVEK STE SA NAMA U NASIM SRCIMA.
