Obituary for Patrick LeRoy "Red" O'Hara

Patrick LeRoy "Red"  O'Hara
Patrick “Red” LeRoy O'Hara, 94

YOUNGSTOWN – On Feb. 27, 2016, Patrick LeRoy “Red” O’Hara, met his Lord and loved ones in heaven.
Patrick was born, Jan. 24, 1922, to Patrick L. and Kathrine D. (Graham) O’Hara.
In 94 years, Patrick was a devoted son, a loving and generous brother, and an honest, hard-working husband, father, foster parent, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend.
Pat attended the Immaculate Conception Church and graduated from East High School. Pat served in the U.S. Army during World War II. He worked a variety of jobs before retiring from Coca-Cola’s Minute Maid division in California. Patrick enjoyed helping people.
He and his wife, Mary (Spotts), married on April 29, 1943, and opened their home to family, friends and foster children.
He enjoyed boxing, fishing, gardening, cooking and football. More than anything, he loved his family and was happiest surrounded by them.
Patrick was preceded in death by his parents, his wife; two brothers, William (Rita Sanchi), and Thomas (Dorthy Krupa), and beloved nephew, Timothy Baldelli.
Left to celebrate and cherish his life and memory are, his sister, Sally Baldelli; brother-in-law and lifelong friend, Raymond Baldelli; brother, Robert and family; daughters, Luann O’Hara, devoted caregiver, Kathleen O’Hara (Simerlink), Sally Bonace, and Maureen O’Hara (Harris); his grandchildren, Douglas (Karen) Simerlink, Daniel Patrick Simerlink, his favorite (only) granddaughter, Darcy (Bruce) Matt (Bonace), Christopher (Lindsey) Bonace, Patrick Bonace, and Joshua (Alexandra) Harris.
Continuing Patrick’s legacy are his adored great-granddaughter, Sophie (Chris and Lindsey), and two more anticipated great-grandchildren, Lincoln Patrick Matt (Darcy and Bruce (May)), and Baby Harris (Josh and Alix (August)). Patrick’s quirky and compassionate nature will be remembered by his many nieces, nephews and their children, and all those whose lives he touched along his journey.
Patrick was a great storyteller and can be honored best by re-telling his stories about the depression, or, Army judo. Sharing stories about him, like how his eyes always twinkled, or how you could depend on him for anything and laughing. As your laughter rises, it will touch his soul, like a sweet kiss on the cheek.
The family truly appreciates the love and empathy extended by Dr. Thomas J. and Susan (Baldelli) Traikoff, and the many caregivers, especially his nurses, Rebecca, Amy and Angela from MVI Hospice and Homecare, who treated Patrick so well.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the professional care of the Rossi Brothers & Lellio Funeral Home, 4442 South Avenue in Boardman.
A private service will be held at Lake Park Cemetery in Youngstown.
Memorial contributions can be made to your local hospice or animal charity.
