It was a pleasure to have known your Dad over the past many years and to have seen him regularly at Croatian events or at our Croatian Mandarin luncheons where he always had a good time. Your Dad and my brother Johnny also worked together as police officers at the station at Bloor and Islington and I know they both had high regard for one another.
I am sorry for your loss but he has suffered enough and it is now time to let him go. May a Choir of Angels now escort him on his way to Heaven. Nek pociva u miru. Warm Hugs Diana

I was granted the priviledge to reconnect with your father via credit valley hospital.
It was always a pleasure catching up and talking with him.
He was very very proud of the two of you.
Be strong, take care
