Gasper is the son of Joseph and Ludowica Pocevic. Born in Russia and of Lithuanian descent, he immigrated with his parents and brothers Joseph and Louis, as a very small child. A citizen of the United States, he proudly served his country in the U.S. Army, during WWI. Honorably discharged in 1919, he worked in the trucking industry and lived in Bridgeport most of his life. He was married to Roberta Padrea Maloney and he raised 4 sons and 1 daughter. They are to my knowledge:

Gustore C. Pocevic 1932 - 2009
Robert L. Pocevic 1933 - 2005
Ronald E. Pocevic, Sr. 1935 - 1995
Arthur K. Pocevic, Sr. 1938 - 1995
Roberta Pocevic, abt. 1939 -

Gasper "Gus" served in the U.S. Army. He enlisted 5-24-1918 and was honorably discharged 6-24-1919 serving in the last six months of WWI. It appears he and Roberta possibly divorced at some point later in life but that research is currently ongoing.

Gasper's story is the classic immigrant story to me. He came, he grew and learned, he served, he worked, he lived, raised his family, and he died as a proud American Veteran.

Not forgotten....
