Robert E. Glusica, age 93, lifelong resident of Hibbing died Thursday, January 15, 2014 at the Fairview Medical Center in Hibbing with his family at his side. He was born June 13, 1921 in Carson Lake, MN, the son of Sposo and Yanja (Uzelac) Glusica. He graduated from Hibbing High School. A Veteran of the US Army, Robert served in the Asiatic-Pacific Theatre during WWII. Robert was united in marriage to Doris J. Hanson on October 26, 1947 in Chisholm, MN.
Robert worked for US Steel as a shovel-runner, retiring after 40 years of service. He was a member of St. Michael's Serbian Orthodox Church, and the VFW.
