 July 29, 1936 - February 21, 2025

With heavy hearts we announce that our dad passed away unexpectedly at home after a lengthy illness. With high spirits, he battled bravely right to the end. He was predeceased by his parents Mile and Julka in Croatia and wife Zora (née Perković). He will be dearly missed by his sister Katica Kalanj and family, his brother Toma (Ankica) Vuković and family, many cousins and their families, and his children Mira (Fraser), Nada (Lorne), Kathy (Peter), Tom (Gina), ten grandchildren, Michael, Kevon (Chelsey), Nathan (Megan), Megan, Madison, Meredith, Grace, Stuart, Arianna, Kalina, and four great grandchildren, Peyton, Alivia, Emmett, and Charlotte. Dad was born in Mali Kut, Križpolje, Croatia, surrounded by beautiful hills, productive land, and a pleasant climate. He was a hardworking farm boy tending to animals and fields, completing his required schooling and military service, before immigrating to Canada in 1962.
He had a generous heart and enjoyed the company of people, food, and music. His family enjoyed listening to him play the accordion, guitar, and harmonica. Many people will remember him for his engaging conversations when he made his frequent visits around town. He loved his family deeply and wanted them to be happy.
