Victor V. Hribar, Jr.

Victor Vincent Hribar, Jr., died October 4, 2021 at his home in Charlotte, Mich. at the age of 83.  Victor was born in Brownsville, Pa. on September 15, 1938, to Victor and Helen (Abdis) Hribar.  After graduating high school, he enlisted in the Navy where he was an Airdale, assigned to the Navy air wing and performed maintenance on aircraft electrical systems.  In 1963, he married Patricia Lee Walter and they remained by each other’s side for 58 years.  He worked for the United States Postal Service for his entire career, the last 14 years of which he was the Postmaster at the Charlotte Post Office.  After retirement, he enjoyed traveling with his wife, going to the casino, and spending time with his children and grandchildren.
Family and friends meant everything to Victor, and he showed his love by always making sure those around him had a full and happy belly.  Fixing things and doing for others was also a way Victor showed how much he cared. He was the first one to lend a hand to anyone who needed it.  He was a talented woodworker, making rocking horses, rocking chairs, cabinets, bookcases and many other things over the years.  As parents do, Victor wanted his kids to have more than he did, so there was no question that they would get a good education because it was either, “Use your brain or use your back” as he always said.  He also enjoyed spoiling his grandkids and never came to visit without having a treat for them.
Victor is survived by his wife, Patricia; children, Vicki (Philip) Briggs-Rasor, Teri (Denis Pulver) Martin, and Vincent (Julie) Hribar; grandchildren, Kaitlyn, Kyle, Garrett, Addison, Victoria, Owen, Sydney, and Emerson; sister, Edna (John) Scotton; brother, Anthony Hribar; and several nieces and nephews.  He was preceded in death by his parents; and sisters, Helen Mager and Sandra Mitchell.
