He graduated from DePaul Academy in 1951 and soon after joined the Air Force. He married the love of his life Sharon (Smith) on February 14, 1953. Shortly after they were stationed in Louisiana before he spent a year in Korea. Upon returning stateside to Chicago they made a quick business of starting a family, having the first three sons in just over two years. They were transferred to Florida, then Long Island where their fourth son was born. The family was transferred to Kincheloe in 1965 where he worked at the missile site in Raco. After more than twenty years of service he retired as a Master Sergeant in 1973. After retiring from the military he and his wife sold life insurance for a couple of years before running The Squire & Milady on Ashmun Street. He co-owned the Sweet Soo Bakery next to Gilhooleys Pharmacy before retiring completely. He played accordion from the age of five, he was an avid bowler for many decades, he was a diehard Cubs fan and he watched CNBC following the stock market closely. After arriving in the U.P. he and Sharon loved to snowmobile. They also loved to travel until her death in 1983. Though she was irreplaceable, he found a new travel buddy in his granddaughter Lisa who took many annual trips with him and lived with him until graduating from high school. In more recent years he also took care of his oldest son, Dan, who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis. Those who knew him will remember his cranky, sarcastic sense of humor, his love of the Chicago Cubs, his skill as a bowler and his entertaining stories. Those who knew him really well will remember his deep love and devotion to family and his generosity. SURVIVED BY: 4 Sons Daniel Hribar of Sault Ste.
