My Father was viewed by many people as difficult at times to downright intimidating. While those observations probably can't be disputed, make no mistake, he was a hard working, honest man who never took the easy shortcuts or compromises in integrity many people are willing to take every day without thinking twice.
If someone needed help he was there without hesitation. If you hurt it hurt him deeply. He would give of himself without expectation of reward or compensation.
To me his goodness far outweighed any of his short comings and he will be greatly missed.
John Hrebenak was a truly Good Man and I'm so proud to say he was my father.

Loving Son,
Christopher Charles Hrebenak
