Honorable Joseph A. Hudock, 79, of Greensburg, died Wednesday, Dec. 14, 2016, in Pittsburgh. He was born Nov. 21, 1937, in Greensburg, and was the son of the late State Police Major Andrew J. and Rebecca Burke Hudock. Joseph was a 1955 graduate of his beloved Saint Vincent Prep, and a 1959 graduate of his beloved Saint Vincent College. Years later, Joseph was named an alumnus of distinction by both wonderful institutions. Joseph graduated from Duquesne University’s law school in 1962, and enlisted in the United States Navy. In the Navy he served in Japan and California in the Judge Advocate General Corps before returning to his hometown of Greensburg to begin a private law practice with Avra Pershing’s office. At the time of Joseph’s discharge from the Navy, he had attained the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Joseph was very proud of his military service such that the placement of his framed Honorable Discharge certificate within the house was a humorous difference of opinion between Joseph and his wife with his wife not permitting Joseph to hang it in their home’s living room, much to Joseph’s disappointment. In Greensburg, Joseph eventually opened a law office with his dear friend of the last 45 years, John Driscoll.
