He owned his own business and was a watchmaker by trade for over 50 years, until he retired. Whenever Tibor was asked, “How are you feeling?” his favorite response was always, “Still ticking!” said with a smile. He was very involved in the Hungarian community and served on the council of the West Side Hungarian Lutheran Church in Cleveland. He was an avid soccer, basketball, and tennis fan. Tibor enjoyed hiking and spending time outdoors. His outgoing personality will be missed by all who knew him.
