It is with heavy hearts, that our family announces the passing of our father on February 25, 2025, at the age of 88, surrounded by his loving family.

He will be profoundly missed by his wife Jaga(Seka), his children Tom and Draga; his daughter-in-law Mary and son-in-law Domenic; his grandchildren Natassia, her husband Mike, Luke, his wife Olesea, Mark, Daniel and David, his great grandchildren Sophie, Evan, Matteo and Margot, his many nieces and nephews and extended family and friends.

Throughout his life, Vlado was a warm-hearted, fun-loving man who cherished the strong friendships he built—both with those from his hometown of Cetingrad and within the Croatian community, where he and his family were devoted supporters. He found joy in Sunday picnics, loved traveling, and especially treasured the many trips to Florida with his close friends. His presence will be deeply missed, especially by his beloved Bocce Buddies.
