Born 1st November 1937. Alex, our Dad and Dida died at home, in the house he built, on 6th November 2025, aged 88.

Loved by his three daughters Danyel, Kendal and Natasha Simich, grandchildren Reegan, Arnia, Kaemon and Kairo and great-grandchildren Kaitiaki and Awhina.

We will miss the stories Dad loved to tell us about his many escapades, especially of growing up in Northland and in Igrane, Dalmatia, with his beloved mum Mere, dad Rudolfo and brothers Frank and Clem.

One of the last gum-diggers… He's gone fishing now.

A service will be held at Bucklands Beach Yacht Club, Ara-Tai Road, Half Moon Bay, Auckland on Friday 21st November at 1:30pm.
