Harry G. Ochs hefting a piece of his work

Harry G. Ochs, Jr., butcher and owner of Ochs Prime Meats,�passed away Sun., Dec. 6 at the age of eighty.� This much-loved elder statesman was often called "The Mayor of the Market" for his 50-plus years working in the Reading Terminal.� Rick Nichols eulogizes him with great feeling in Monday's Inquirer; read it here.

A viewing will be held at Donohue Funeral Home (8401 West Chester Pike) in Upper Darby this Sun., Dec. 13 from 3-6 p.m.�� On Mon, Dec. 14, a viewing (8:30-9:30 a.m.) and Mass (10 a.m.) will be held at St. Laurence Church (8245 West Chester Pike) in Upper Darby.� A funeral lunch will be held at the Reading Terminal Market (12th & Arch) at 1 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, Mr. Ochs' family requests that donations be made to St. John's Hospice (1221 Race St., 215-563-7763), an organization serving homeless men that Mr. Ochs supported for many years.
