Uncle Vik was a big man with an even bigger personality-always full of fun, love, and warmth. He cared for us like we were his own nieces and nephew, and we loved him as family just the same. We´ll always remember his stories, his jokes, and being the man who taught us the best Croatian swear words. He will be dearly missed. Sending all our love to Aunty Colleen, Vicki, Toni and Milan and their families at this time.

We first met in 1966 at Marsden Point. From that very early meeting we gained a good friend, someone we have shared many cherished memories with. Vic was always a dear friend to both of us and our family, and he with his wife Colleen and their children are part of the fabric of our lives and even to this day our children call him Uncle Vic. He will be missed for many things, but above all we recall his humour. He was always one to share a joke and we will always remember him as the warm and caring person he was, full of passion and above all life. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Colleen, and Vicki, Tony and Milan and their families. Vik we will miss you terribly, rest in peace.
