His post-World War II escape from the former Yugoslavia was the stuff of a Hollywood blockbuster, but once in Australia, Rad Leovic led a quiet life punctuated by a passionate love of exercise that saw him still pole vaulting in his eighties and running in his nineties.
After a very full life and a commitment to getting up every day and putting one foot in front of the other, Mr Leovic died in Canberra on February 8, at the age of 95.
