Sgt. Alan Paul Hruska, 70, of Mentor, passed away July 27, 2018, and left this earth too early.
He was born Sept. 11, 1947, in Cleveland.
Alan was a U.S. Army veteran, and loved to play pool, enjoying it at least twice a week.
Alan was a cabinet maker by trade and touched the lives of many, leaving a concrete footprint of his masterpieces in their homes.
The words that best describe Alan are unselfish, caring, a mentor, generous to a fault, fun loving, happy, smiley, witty, giver of unconditional love, and charismatic.
Alan was the beloved husband of Nancy Citriglia-Hruska; loving father of eight who adored his smile, Matthew (Judy), Mark, John (Allison), Luke (Courtney), Audrey (John), Amy (Greg), Nancy (Eric), and Nick (Kendra); “Papa” of Anthony, Jaqueline, Jamie, Logan, Dominic, Dante, Emilio, Orion, Brady, Cooper, Dustyn, Giovanni, Giada, Rose, Mae and Enzo, who looked up to him.
