James Hobart Obituary
On June 9, 2021, Jim Hobart, beloved husband of Kathy Walter Hobart and devoted father to Sarah Hobart and Addie Hobart Case (Michael), passed away peacefully at the age of 72. He is also survived by his sister, Jeanne Odermatt, niece Heather Box and cousins, Nancy and David Stubbs. Originally from Long Island New York, Jim attended Western Maryland College where he made many lifelong friends. His career as a Systems Analyst at the Social Security Administration spanned 42 years.
Jim Was an avid cyclist, golfer and tennis and pickleball player. He coached many of his daughters' soccer and basketball teams and participated in several Cycle Tours across various states. Jim was also a voracious reader, enjoyed traveling and music and had a quiet but dry and understated wit. Jim will be remembered most for his humility, integrity and service to others. Memorial contributions may be made to Pacing4Parkinson's https://makeagift.jhu.edu/form/HOB21 or Meals on Wheels http://www.mealsonwheelsmd.org/donate. His life will be celebrated later this year at Glen Mar Church in Ellicott City, MD.

My short time working with Mr Hobbie was bery inspiring and interesting. Whenever Jim sees you, the first thing he does is to smile and say, “hi, how are you doing?” I was said when I heard he passed away because I saw him the day before the unfortunate day. My deepest condolences to the family and Mr Hobbie should continue to rest is perfect peace.

What I remember most is how he and I would chat for hours, he was very wise and insightful. I will miss seeing his smile as soon as I would walk into the room. It was a pleasure to work with Jim at Brightview. And getting to meet his lovely wife Kathy.
Thank you Hobbie for your kind words of encouragement and for the many beautiful memories you have provided.
My deepest condolences to your family, keeping you all in my prayers

Very sad to hear about Hobie. He always had a kind, and often witty, word at the many gatherings where we crossed paths over the years. Our deepest condolences, Kathy. Love, Katie and Chris
