Wilbur F. Hindmarch, owned meat market
Wilbur F. Hindmarch, former owner of Hindmarch's Meats in Newport, died of an apparent heart attack at 8 a.m. Friday at his home in Highland Heights. He was 82.
Mr. Hindmarch was born in 1916 and grew up working in his father's store at Fourth and Columbia.
He learned meat cutting from his father and took over the business when his father died.
He served in the army during World War II, working in the quartermaster's office to keep food supplies flowing to the troops.
'If it hadn't been for the war, he probably would have gone on to college and become a social studies teacher,' said his niece, Rosann Sharon, who teaches at Dayton High School.
He maintained a lifelong interest in history and social studies, she said.
Mr. Hindmarch never married, but he was an active presence in the lives of his sister's children.
'When we were growing up, he took us and all our friends to the away football games and basketball games,' Mrs. Sharon said.
He and his mother, Rose, ran Hindmarch Meats until the mid-1960s, when they sold the business and the buyer tore it down to build a car lot.
He worked as a meat cutter for several other companies.
'He was easy going and talkative. He always said you should treat everybody nicely. You don't have to agree with everything they say, but you should acknowledge them and listen to them,' Mrs. Sharon said.
He was a member of St. Paul United Church of Christ, Fort Thomas, and Fort Thomas Retired Men's Club.
Other survivors include niece Susan Viel of Highland Heights; and a brother-in-law, Joseph A. Viel of Florence.
