Lovingly remembered by Aunt Milka Baburic and family. He will be missed by many other family members and friends in Australia and Croatia. Family was everything to John and he spent all his time with his kids, watching soccer with them, skiing, ice skating and riding their bikes together. He loved his family and never let a day go by without telling them how much they meant to him. John will be remembered for his great sense of humour and devotion to his friendships, many of which spanned more than 35 years. John was the Manager of Test and Validation Engineering at Collins Aerospace and will be sadly missed by all of his colleagues. John loved his work and was always smiling and happy to be part of the test lab team. John was taken too soon from us, and we miss him dearly. A visitation will be held at Bay Gardens Funeral Home, 947 Rymal Road East, Hamilton, on Tuesday January 10th from 5 p.m. till 9 p.m. A funeral service will be held at Bay Gardens Funeral Home, on Wednesday January 11th at 11 a.m. with a burial to follow at Our Lady of Angels Catholic Cemetery, 681 Mud St E, Stoney Creek. Nicole and the kids encourage everyone to attend. Please sign the online book of condolences at www.baygardens.ca
