It is with great sadness that we have to announce the passing of our beloved father, Stjepan Grgic, on March 25, 2023, at the age of 75.
Stjepan passed away surrounded by his family and will be lovingly remembered by his son, Vinko (Joanne); daughters, Anne, Maria (Ivan with grandsons, Theodore and Oliver), and Nicole (Aldo); and many other family members and friends in Canada and Croatia, including his dear brother, Matija, in Canada, and brothers, Nikola and Ivica in Croatia.
Stjepan proudly came from humble beginnings in Adzamovci, a village close to Nova Gradiska, Croatia, and from early on he strived academically. His affinity for academia saw him complete his undergraduate degree in Osijek and a postgraduate degree in economics in Sarajevo.
Life led him with the love of his life, Ruzica, who sadly passed away in 2008, first to Switzerland and finally to Toronto, Canada. Stjepan was a proud Croatian-Canadian, a devout Catholic and a family man, as well as a firm believer in fairness and justice. He was incredibly proud of his children and grandchildren.
He was always willing to help others and often did so silently, especially while working at the Croatian Credit Union in Toronto, the Croatian Fraternal Union in the USA and while fundraising for those affected, especially children, by the Croatian homeland war.
He will forever be remembered as a gentleman who had a gentle heart and charming demeanour with a penchant for sweets, finding four-leaf clovers, and reading all types of literature, especially newspapers.
