Robert H. Hart

Hart, Robert H.
(5/5/17 - 5/3/10). Robert Hollis Hart is a good and faithful servant of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Robert (Bob), of Cedar Park, TX, was called home on May 3, 2010, 2 days before his 93rd birthday. He was born in Mora, MN, May 5, 1917. He is survived by his loving wife, Darlaine (Dale) of 69 years; by his daughter, DeAnne Winn (Tom), Austin, TX; daughter, Sonia Yevich (Steve), Portsmouth, VA; and son, Greg Hart (Marcia), Rapid City, SD. He is also survived by his only sister Harriet Cookson (Don), Seattle, WA, plus 8 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. He was pre-deceased by his son Terry Hart, his parents, and his 4 brothers (Truman, "Red", Loren, and Lyle). He loved his family, especially his wife, Dale. They had a love affair for 69 years that is to be cherished. He had a quiet, strong faith and a confidence that things "would work out" because of his deep, unfaltering trust in his Heavenly Father. He had a wonderful sense of humor, quick wit, loved to laugh, and would light up a room when he walked in with his great smile and eyes that sparkled. There was a song in his heart that was ready to be sung in his beautiful tenor voice anytime, anywhere. It was true joy to see Bob and Dale smoothly dancing across the floor whenever they could. He had great friends and was a wonderful Christian. He loved all sports, especially swimming and tennis. He played tennis competitively until he was 85. He loved to entertain with a joke and a song, but was truly a terrific listener as well. In 1956, he became the first licensed Realtor in South Dakota and sold homes until he retired in Phoenix in 1984, but he continued to sell homes in his retirement community until 1993. He was a real estate auditor for 5 years in AZ. He had an interest in others and was known for his honesty and professionalism in business. During WWII, he served for 4 years in Navy recruiting offices in Los Angeles, CA, and Albany, NY. Of interest he was featured in the Dec. 1, 1942 issue of Look Magazine with actresses Betty Grable and Rita Hayworth. He was a handsome man, but more importantly he was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He will be missed by all who knew him.
