Timothy Hart Obituary

Timothy Richard Hart Timothy Richard Hart passed away on Saturday, October 31, 2020 from complications due to a stroke that occurred earlier in the month. Tim was born February 25, 1950 in Tracy, California to Richard H. and Jane C. Hart. The family later moved to Marin County, California living first in San Anselmo and moving to Ross in 1960. Tim graduated from Redwood High School, College of Marin, and Sonoma State University. Following a career in sales throughout the Bay Area, and after meeting his wife, Nancy, they returned to Nancy's hometown in Oregon to raise their family and live a faith-based life. Life became even sweeter when they became grandparents. Tim was a gentle and fun grandfather - playing with the children, being silly, just sitting with them, and asking a lot of questions. Following retirement, Tim and Nancy traveled around the Pacific Northwest and to California to visit family and friends, to Europe with good friends, to Marin County for school reunions, and to Palm Springs for tennis. He loved Bay Area and Marin County sports, history, and beauty. Tim had a clever and quick sense of humor, curiosity, and he loved meeting new people and expanding his knowledge of world and political events. He was known by many for his sentimental heart. Tim was a respected elder with Columbia Bible Presbyterian Church in Warren, Oregon for many years and regularly considered the people of the church when deliberating with the Session. His abiding faith sustained him through all that life delivered his way, and he and Nancy raised their children similarly. Tim is survived by his wife, Nancy; children, Jordan (Jessica), Natalie (Cameron), Sydney, and Patrick (Cierra); grandchildren Jackson, Aggie, and Bennett Hart; and Ailyn and Asa Kalich and another Kalich grandson expected in March 2021. He is also survived by sisters Jill Hall, Sally Phillips (Jim), and many nieces, nephews, and extended family who dearly loved him. Tim is predeceased by his parents, sister Danya, brother-in-law Gary, and nephew Gary, Jr. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 14, 2020 at 1:00p.m. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 restrictions, the in-person funeral services will be by invitation only. Services will be broadcast via YouTube, search for "Warren Community Fellowship." Thank you for understanding.

We are so sorry to hear of Tim's passing and would like to extend our condolences to his family. Tim's sister, Danya, was in our graduating class at Drake High in San Anselmo, 1957. Part of Tim's growing up years were on San Rafael Ave. in San Anselmo, CA before 1960. His dad, Dick Hart was first a coach of mine at Drake and later a colleague at Redwood High for many years. My family lived on Grove Lane just up the street from the Harts in those days. My brother Steve has very fond memories of young Tim when Steve was Tim's baseball coach just when Tim started playing as a pee wee in San Anselmo. I remember Tim as a cordial, pleasant guy, a gung ho sports fan, and just a decent character. I am so glad that he found his niche as a family man and that he found a way to lead a fulfilling, charitable life.

Dear Tim, Today is Friday the 13th,
a dark and gloomy day here in your Marin County,
the first real rain in 6 months. Tomorrow
will be the first of brighter days, the kind

all filled with our friend Tim.

He and Nancy shared
with Josie and me fond memories of a Portland
player piano attached to a restaurant wall.

Tim loved to tell of the 4th of July my father lost control
of a wheelbarrow of beer which tumbled down to
the basement, ... and later became a walk-in wine cellar.

Every few years we visited the Harts.
One by one, Jordan, Natalie, Sydney, and Patrick
delighted us with their own versions of
good friend Tim. The family wouldn't
be complete without Sister Sally or several spouses and
many little kids, all in mourning today,
and all awaiting tomorrow,

Tim, thanks for being my good neighbor...
