Vedran will be remembered by our family as a quite and gentle man. He and his family were always included and welcome to join us at our family reunions. He did not join us this year because of illness, but he was missed. Elaine, may God be with you, Mark and Alex during this time of sorrow.

We never thought of Ved as a friend but as “family”. I will miss his laughter and great hugs.

We loved Ved like family! I have many great memories of times spent with him, Shirley and Elaine. I will always remember him sitting in his chair filling and smoking his pipe.
Praying for you Elaine.
