IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Henry "Hank"
Anthony Meglich
February 6, 1925 – July 18, 2021
Henry "Hank" Anthony Meglich, age 96, of Stevensville, PA passed away at his home Sunday morning, July 18, 2021 just four days after the love of his life, Martha Margaret Meglich.
Henry was born on February 6, 1925 in Barberton, OH. He was the son of the late Joseph and Katherine Metelich Meglich. He was a graduate of Canal Fulton High School in Canal Fulton, OH with the class of 1943. After high school Henry served his country in the US Army during World War II as a Lineman in the Artillery in the invasion of Europe with the 670 th Field Battalion 5 th Division in the Patton 3 rd Army.
After his honorable discharge he returned to Ohio where he was employed as a Welder for 16 years with Babcock & Wilcox in Akron, OH. He married Martha Opeka on May 17, 1958. After they married, they lived in New Baltimore, OH until 1963 when they purchased a farm in Uniondale, PA. In 1974 they settled in Stevensville to own and operate a Dairy Farm that their son continues to operate today. Hank loved working on the farm and especially his cows.
He played Slovenian Polkas on his Button Box Accordion. He enjoyed hunting. He harvested his last buck at age 92, an 8 pointer at 240 yards. He enjoyed pancakes and must have eaten a million in his lifetime. He and Martha played Horse and Pepper with their dear friends Gene and Heather regularly. He will be missed by all that knew him.
