Darling Wally you will be so sadly missed by us you were a great big part of our lives and its not fair that you have gone too soon, we will miss you every day and treasure every memory you have left with us, I promise to still give Russell shit and spend his money and finally make him let me drive, we will treasure Pam for you with lots of coffees and wines. With the angels now at peace we love you and miss you always Coll and Russ :)

Although I was very small child (5-6 year old) I remember when my uncle Vladimir and Pam visited Croatia many many years ago. Certain images from our early childhood somehow stay with us and never fade. In my memory I have that image of young, happy, good looking couple that spoke in the language that I could not understand at the time. Over years my mom would frequently talk about her brother and I learned that I was named after him. On the wall in her living room she had photo from uncle Vladimir and Pam wedding, the same photo I saw again today on this tribute site. It brought tears to my eye today. In last few years thanks to all these new technologies we had opportunity to talk and see each other over the internet. It is interesting how many things we had in common and I had feeling that we know each other forever. probably as we had similar paths in our lives. He went to New Zealand and I went to US. I talked to him just one month ago and he was in such good spirit full of plans. I still cannot understand how we lost him so rapidly. I know that his family was the most important to him and I know that you will all miss him tremendously. But his spirit will always leave among all of us. My most sincere condolences to all of you. Please stay strong in these difficult moments
