Joseph A Cindric, age 102, of Uniontown, passed away Saturday, Feb. 25, 2017. He was born Feb. 1, 1915, in Phillips, Pa., son of the late Nicholas and Clara (Pulig) Cindric. He was the second oldest of eight children, all of whom preceded him in death. Joseph attended North Union Schools. In 1942, Joe married Kathryn Fecek. She passed away in 1946 after the birth of their daughter, Kathy. During World War II, he joined the Army Air Forces and was part of the ground crew that supported B-17 and B-24 bombers in England. In 1951, Joe married Louise Bonno and moved to his present home on Bute Road. Joe and Louise became very involved in the community of Oliver 3, helping to establish the Valley Sportsman Club. Joe was one of the founders of Thaw Troop 690 of the Boy Scouts of America. Joe continued to be very active in Scouting for more than 60 years, earning the prestigious Silver Beaver Award and the Order of the Arrow Award. Joe worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad, which became Penn Central and then Conrail. He retired from the railroad in 1980. After retiring, he continued his Scouting work and had even more time to pursue his hobbies of gardening, wine making and woodworking. For many years, he supplied his family and friends with all their fruits and vegetables. And up until a few days ago, he was still feeding his beloved birds. Joe is survived by his daughter, Kathy, and two sisters-in-law, Regina Cindric and Norma Cindric. Joe will be greatly missed by his many nieces and nephews and their families, who all considered him the head of the family.
