We were very saddened to hear that Milan has passed away. Our deepest sympathies to Teta Marija, Smilja, Djuro and the rest of the family. We will always remember Milan as a very kind and generous man, especially to my parents. He was also a very fun loving grandfather, and always made sure that our daughter would get the chance to spend time with his grandchildren whenever we would visit from the UK. We will miss him. Wishing you all comfort and peace in the days ahead.
Love, Milena, Keith and Biba xxx

I worked with Milan for many years at the Oakville Refinery and Milan was always
dependable, a great associate, but must importantly, a good friend.
We had many enlightening discussions about his family history, and it was very
obvious his family was very dear to his heart.
Milan will obviously be missed by many.
My thoughts go out to the family and friends.

Milan Vucak was a great man who exhibited humility, respect for others a genuine love for his family.
I had the opportunity to work under his tutelage and mentoring for 10 years. I will miss him but I will always remember him as a good friend and a struggling golfer.
I am sure he will be a “scratch “ golfer on the other side

Such sad news. I will always be grateful to Milan for hiring me at the Oakville Petro Canada Refinery in 1985. The time I spent there, (around 15 years), were probably some of the happiest during my carrier. Milan was a wonderful boss, mentor and good friend.

If the true measure of a man is the love and respect shown by his children, then based on the my relationship with his son George, I am without doubt that Milan left this world standing tall amongst us.
