Emil P. Oros 83, of Hopewell Twp. passed away on Thursday, July 27, 2017 after a courageous battle with lung cancer, at Good Samaritan Hospice, with his loving family by his side. He was born July 7, 1934 in West Aliquippa and was the son of the late Andrew G. and Anna (Gajdos) Oros. In addition to his parents, Emil was preceded in death by his sisters: Anne Mihok and Mary DiGiovine, brothers: John, Andrew, Michael, and Albert Oros.

He was a member of Our Lady of Fatima Roman Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus. Emil was an avid gardener. The pleasure he found in tending his garden each summer was exceeded only by the joy of sharing his harvest with his family and friends.
