Could you please translate it to English. Dr. Strika was a world class physician, so very highly gifted. He knew the art and science of medicine. He always made the greatest effort to respect and make the patient comfortable. He was responsible with a conscience and never stopped working for us.

This is an approximate translation. I apologize for any unintentional mistranslations.
Dr. Strika, 75 years of age, internist and gastroenterologist, died Thursday, the 31st of August 2006, after a short illness in Sibenik's hospital. Dr. Strika was born in Zlarin on the 8th of October 1931. He was schooled in Sibenik, graduated from Zagreb Medical School in 1958, and came to the United States in 1960-like his father, who came to the United States in 1930. He specialized in internal medicine at a hospital in New Jersey. In 1966, he became chief resident at Hackensack University Medical Center, after which he advanced to associate chief of gastroenterology where he remained until his death. Strika was a great humanitarian and a patriot. He helped greatly with the acquisition of medical equipment for hospitals in Sibenik and Zadar.

Thank you so much for translating this article to English.
Revised Comment from Jane Davidson, patient of Dr. Strika at Hackensack Hospital. I was very fortunate to have been assigned to him, and I am very grateful.
September 23,2006
Dr. Zivko Anton Strika was a world class physician, so very highly gifted. He knew the art and science of healing and medicine. He cared for the whole patient. He made the greatest effort to help, respect and make us comfortable. His genius and superior knowledge always paralleled the contemporary state of the art and advanced technology.
A visit to his office was a welcome into a living room, old world style. So perfect and so thorough, so kind and giving, so sensitive and gentle, so cultured and brilliant, yet humble and unassuming , he radiated an inner beauty that made every patient feel special.
Dr. Strika was responsible with a conscience and never stopped working for us. He will live forever through his medical, social and political contributions all over the world.
He was one on this earth.

Yesterday we learned that on August 31, 2006, the world suffered a great loss. Mankind has lost the most kindest of men. Our dear friend, Dr. Zivko A. Strika, we are all the better for having known you.
This gentle giant from another land
On loan from God to lend a helping hand
And help so many, oh did he
Tears now fill our eyes for he had to leave
A lifetime caring for the lives of others
Is how he chose to live
There was no amount of time
That was too much for him to give
When illness came to call on us
He always would be there
And count on him we always could
To give the best of care
For all he did for others
He asked nothing in return
So much goodness from one man
From him so much we all could learn
Yet more common than the most common man
This brilliant intellect
Treated all who came to know him
With the greatest of respect
So our dear friend Dr. Strika
Even from the start
We always knew that you would always be a
A presence in our hearts
For our dear friend, Dr. Strika, we are all the better for having the honor of knowing you. You will forever live on in our hearts and the hearts of all the lives you have touched on this earth. Dr. Strika was the most compassionate, humble human being who ever walked this earth. He is irreplaceable. The world has truly lost a great humanitarian.
Our deepest sympathy to Dr. Strika's family and friends,
The Giovannitti Family
Tony, Bernadette and Danielle

Dr. Strika will be sorely missed, he was a true doctor, not in it for the money but to help anyone who needed care. He was the most gentle, sweetest, caring men we have ever encounted. God Bless you Dr. Strika, may you rest in peace, we miss you so much already
