He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Aurelia, by their four children, Thelma (Brian), Blanche (Zbig), Michael (Shannon) and Maranda (Josh); nine grandchildren, Amanda, Ryan, Samantha, Courtney, Shawn, Kaitlyn, Meghan, Mo and Ellis.
Djuro was born in Croatia and immigrated to Canada in 1960. He worked as a machinist for most of his life. He loved watching sports, paid attention to politics and kept active. He enjoyed biking, walking and meeting friends for coffee. He was fluent in many languages, loved to socialize with new people and enjoyed going back to Europe to visit family. Djuro will be remembered for his great sense of humour and the many laughs that he shared with his family and friends.
