Not sure what to say?

A caring, loving, giving man has left us. As a ten-year old on the SNF Chicago Juniors basketball team of 1952, coached by Wally, as a teenager, as an adult and now entering the stari-sphere, I always have had a great respect and admiration for Wally. We have lost a wonderful man.

To the Vukovich Family,
It is with sad hearts that we learned of your father's passing. We are in Florida for the winter and could not come to say our goodbyes.
Memory eternal.
Walter & Helen Nogulich

Dear Tom, Joanne and Family,
Please accept my deepest and most respectful sympathy for the passing of your father. The diaspora Serbs have lost a great and beloved example of christian living, and although known far and wide, I always felt like "family" whenever I spoke with him. You have an honorable legacy in your parents, and your adult lives show for the kind and wonderful upbringing you had. Wally will forever be remembered in our hearts.

as a kind and gentle man. My thoughts
and prayers are with you, your family and Tommy. May God hold all of you close at this time.

Dear Tom, Joanne and Family,
Please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of your Dad and Deda, +Wally. Wally was a pillar in the Serbian community of Holy Resurrection and throughout the U.S. and Canada he will be remembered for his dedication and love for our Serbian Orthodox Church and all of its organizations. He served our Serbian Singing Federation as President and was one of the most devoted participants of SNF basketball tournaments. He has left a wonderful legacy to all...

My sympathy to the extended families of +Wally Vukovich--he was so integral in the life of not only his family and friends, but to the Church and all its' affiliated organizations and our beloved St. Sava Monastery. He was a treasure on earth as he will be in heaven--Memory Eternal.

Dear Tom, Joanne, David and Family,

Please accept our sympathies on the loss of your Father and Deda.
He was a "pillar" not only in the North Side parish but around the country. He will be missed by all choir members and anyone who has attended Basketball Tournaments.
May his memory be eternal.

Joan and Bob Jakovich (Tinley Park, Il)

Walter was a great and decent man who loved his Serbian heritage. He demonstrated that love through the inordinate amount of energy he contributed to American Serbian organizations such as the Serbian Singing Federation. As a past president of the SSF he will be remembered for his contributions and the respect, assistance and kindness given to our founder, Vlajko Lugonja.

Milan M. Chonich, Past President, SSF

To the Vukovich family, you have my deepest sympathy and prayers. The "Big Tuna" was the best coach and friend I've every had in my years of SNF b'ball tourneys. He will be sorely missed by many. God bless all of you.
