I met Vlado and his family shortly after they immigrated to Canada, mid 90’s. We shared the same passion for soccer and became good friends. We grew up in the same city, Sarajevo, which further fostered our friendship as we had a lot in common.
In 1997 at my suggestion he became the coach of our soccer team. His son Gogo also joined the team. This photo brings back wonderful memories of the time we spent together playing and socializing. Vlado was a great person as well as a coach. Everyone on the team loved his professionalism, knowledge and caring personality. Our friendship lasted all these years and we always enjoyed spending time with him, his wife Milena, and the rest of his beautiful family.
Our sincere condolences for your loss! May his soul rest in peace! He will be greatly missed by many people whose lives he touched.
