I am sorry for your loss. Dr. Goykovich was a wonderful man. He helped me during my darkest times. He was loyal and faithful to his patients. I finally am successfully employed in the mental health field and couldn't have achieved this without his help. He will always be in my prayers.

I was saddened to see the loss of Dr. Gojkovich. He helped many with his knowledge, experience and casual demeanor. May his family be comforted in knowing he will not be forgotten. God Bless.

I am so sorry to have read about Dusan's passing. I worked with him for a number of years at Ingalls and developed a great affection and respect for him. His generosity was unbounded, his psychiatric skills unmatched, his humanity immense, and his intellect and breadth of knowledge overpowering. I was so priviledged to know him and proud to be able to call him Dusan and friend.
