PRIBANIC JOHN John's blessed journey ended peacefully at age 108 on May 31, 2018 in Millsboro, DE. Formerly a resident of West Wilmerding in North Versailles, he moved to Dover, DE at age 92 to live near his son, Tom. Born on June 22, 1909 in Zdenac, Croatia, he and his mother, Ana, arrived at Ellis Island on September 17, 1912 to join his father, Franjo Pribanic in Pittsburgh.

He found construction work on the Montgomery Locks and Dam and in coke plants in Midland where he met his future wife, Pauline Wasko. They married in 1940. Returning to Westinghouse, he continued working until his retirement after 45 years. He served as a commissioner for the North Versailles Water Authority for 10 years. He also was a lifelong member of the Croatian Fraternal Union, Lodge #141.
