teams, who, as a goalie, helped win the city championship in 1957. His love of music led him to join the Glee Club and both of us had fun performing in Operettas. The accordian or keyboard were always at hand for fun and parties and his love of a good book wasn’t far behind. As a 45 year career Real Estate Broker, he was a member of the York and Toronto Real Estate Boards managing, serving on committees and and teaching. His love of teaching was evident from notes of thanks received from students who flourished under his tutaledge appreciating his ability to mix real life experiences with the necessary learning tools. He spent 33 years instructing for OREA finishing his last class this spring. Vlade was a 31 year member of Kroy Masonic Lodge #676 GRC, life and 31 yr. m ember of Satellite Chapter #318 OES where he served on several committees, Gr.Organist and Worthy Grand Patron of Ontario.
