Victor Biro, age 75 of Lincoln Park, passed Friday, June 9, 2017,
He was born in Nagykanizsa, Hungary and at the age of twelve he and several buddies his age left Hungary and made their way to Austria. When in Austria the boys were taken in by a Catholic organization that took many young people with similar circumstances under their wing. It was through their mentoring that the boys would be schooled and learn a trade. Victor was taught to be a tile worker. This organization also helped Victor and many like him immigrate to America where they had jobs and Hungarian families on the ready to take them in.
Once in America Victor settled in Passaic New Jersey where he became a United States citizen on June 17, 1966. His training as a tile worker helped him find a career in construction in the United States. He worked for Carpenters Local 15 for over forty years before retiring in 2003.
Victor met Angela Graziano through friends. Their first date was a trip to Parsippany where they went horseback riding. As a suitor Victor would come to Angela’s house with a suit and tie and was always a gentleman. He asked Angela’s parents for her hand in marriage and was given their blessing. They married on June 26, 1966 at Mount Carmel RC Church in Passaic and had a reception at the Swiss Chalet in Rochelle Park. They honeymooned in Bermuda and have enjoyed a loving, devoted, and caring marriage of fifty-one years.
Victor will be remembered as a man who loved the outdoors. Deep sea fishing, hunting, crabbing, where all pastimes he enjoyed. He was a great cook, always made too much food, and loved to fire up the barbecue. When it came to barbecuing he was very slow and deliberate with each turn of the meat. He liked having his hand in the soil and enjoyed both flower and vegetable gardening.
Victor was the loving husband of Angela Biro; devoted father of Victor Biro and his fiancé Heidi Wright of Boonton Township; loved brother of Monci and her husband Joseph of Hungary; several nieces and nephews in Hungary; much loved brother-in-law of Joann DiPiazza and her husband Joe of Little Falls; dear uncle of Joseph DiPiazza and his wife Valerie of Pequannock and James DiPiazza and his wife Michele of Little Falls.
