Obituary of IVAN RENDULIC
IVAN RENDULIĆ
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our father,
grandfather, and great grandfather, Ivan Rendulić on June 27th, 2013. Ivan was born in
Batnoga, Croatia on December 25th, 1930, to parents Mile and Mare.
Greeting him in heaven is his loving wife Mare (2002), his parents, brothers Martin (in
infancy), Joso, Tome and sister Janjo. Tata is survived and sadly missed by his son
Franjo (Roze) and daughters Milka (Pave) and Ankica (Ive), grandchildren and great
grandchildren; Michael (Ružica) Nikola and Josip, Millie, Christine (Neil), Ivan, Michael
(Anita) Dane, Milan and Ivan, Tomislav (Joclyn) Daniella and Luka, Ivan (Amy), Paul
and Kati, Ann-Marie, Daniel and Jasmina. Also left to cherish his memory is his brother
Pero (Kate) and numerous nieces and nephews in Croatia and Canada.
Ivan left Croatia in 1958, leaving his young family behind in search of a better life, and a
more promising future for his children. In 1963 they were reunited, and in 1968 he was
blessed with his third child, Ankica. Always a hard and dedicated worker, Tata worked
various jobs until he settled with Canadian Pacific Railway where he remained till early
retirement.
Tata was truly an amazing father and grandfather, and he took great pride in his great
grandchildren. He was a best friend to all; being born on Christmas day, he truly was a
"GIFT" to all who knew him and loved him. He was always very supportive and proud of
all of his families’ accomplishments. His sense of humor always taught us the simplicity
of life. Tata had a great passion for his Croatian heritage and his local community. He
was truly proud of his roots and his faith, which he together with our dear mother,
passed along to their children and grandchildren. Tata was an enthusiastic member of
the United Croats of Canada, where he spent many days and nights attending regular
picnics, playing bocce, and passing on his traditions and life lessons.
Recitation of the Rosary will be held on Wednesday, July 3rd at 7:00pm with Prayers at 7:30 p.m. at St. Nicholas Tavelich Church, 2688 Main Street. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Thursday, July 4th at 9:30am also at St. Nicholas Tavelich Church with Father Robert Polz presiding. Tata will be laid to rest at Glen Eden Memorial Gardens. Pallbearers will be his seven grandsons.
We, the family of Ivan, would like to express our sincere and heartfelt gratitude to all the
professionals who made a difference and helped us take care of Tata.
