So sorry to hear of Hart's passing as we went back to early 1960 when he worked at Career Girl for his father. We were also together when John F Kennedy got shot. I had many good times with Hart in those days. My heart goes out to his family. Rest in peace my good friend. Kenny Dusang - Posted by: Kenny Dusang (Old Friend) on: Feb 19, 2013

While our meetings were infrequent, Hart was always enthusiastic and ready to pick up the conversation from where it left off even if it was a couple of years later. His sense of humour was offbeat, subtle and at times left me laughing so hard my cheeks hurt! My deepest sympathy to all who had the good fortune to be part of Hart's life at one time or another. - Posted by: Barb Altman (Aquaintance ) on: Feb 10, 2013

The news of Hart's passing came as a shock. I have known Hart since the early 80's and he has been a friend that always kept in touch. A true friend. Hart will be missed and I know he is at peace. Hart, your memories will live on forever and you will be missed by all whose hearts you touched. May you rest in peace. From your friend, Anthony Bernstein in South Africa - Posted by: Anthony Bernstein (Friend) on: Feb 10, 2013

We are shocked and saddened to hear this news - condolences to your family. We have such fond memories of Hart as a kind, caring, compassionate man, generous and opinionated, a holy fool (said with much love) that spoke his truth, honored his faith, and served his circles of community. And he made a great BluesBurger - the HartBeat diner was a special place. He tried so hard to help others avoid the path of pain he chose, and lived a life rich in ways you can't measure - experience, people, and connection. He is already missed. - Posted by: Susan Hurrell & Jacinthe Labbe (friends) on: Feb 10, 2013
