I want to extend my condolences to the Hart family. To my dear friend, Sue Hart, I want you to know that I am keeping you and your entire family in my prayers during this difficult, sad time. My memories of your dad extend back to when we were mere kids so many years ago. He walked tall and I can still remember the smile on his handsome face. RIP Mr. Hart.
