Obituary from "The Hamilton Spectator"

It is with heavy hearts we announce the peaceful passing of Dane in his 87th year. He will be dearly missed by his loving wife of 54 years, Smilja. Beloved father to Srbo (Dianne), Slobodan (Maryann) and Danka (Tom) Vukovic. Cherished Deda to Stefanie, Steven, Ilijana, Aleksija, Dimitrie and Nikolina. Survived by sister-in-laws Stana (late Stevo), Dragica (late Nedo) Kiperovic and brother-in-law Stevo (late Dusanka) Lukic. He will be missed by many nieces and nephews here and abroad, as well as Kumovi Kangrga. Predeceased by parents Nikola and Jelka and siblings Stevo, Jelka and Milos. After 31 years of employment at Stelco Parkdale Works, Dane enjoyed 27 years of retirement spent with family and friends. He will be fondly remembered for his humour, jokes and quick wit. He enjoyed the outdoors up north and sharing a drink with everyone. Since his arrival to Canada, Dane has been a dedicated member of St. Nicholas Serbian Orthodox Church (Barton St.). Due to Covid-19 Regulations, all services will be private.

From USW Local 5328 members and retirees to the Levnaic family " May our condolences bring you comfort and may our prayers ease the pain of this loss. "
