He was 65. Hrabar was born on 25 November 1947 and educated at Parktown Boys' High. He completed his military conscription in the Naval Gymnasium in Saldanha Bay and the Naval College in Gordon's Bay, where he achieved colours for shooting. He rose to the rank of Sub-Lieutenant. He studied Architecture at the University of the Witwatersrand, where he met his wife, fellow architect Anne Ellis BROWN. The couple moved to Plettenberg Bay in 1975 and established an architectural firm. Hrabar practiced architecture successfully for almost 40 years, often opposing developments that compromised the environment. He was active in his community as a councillor and as a member of the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI). He retired in 2011 and fatefully contracted aplastic anaemia the next year.
