At his home on Friday, October 5, 2001, in his 88th year. Dearly loved husband of Patricia and of the late Jean and much loved father of Diane. Predeceased by his sisters, Audrey Graves and Ada Blaisdell. Mr. Hart was a former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank of Montreal with a distinguished career of 52 years. During the Second World War, he served overseas with the Canadian Grenadier Guards and was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (Military Division). In 1983, he became a Member of the Order of Canada for contributions to a wide range of community and business affairs including the establishment of the Bank of Montreal Youth Project in 1970 which continues to operate as EPOC. In keeping with Mr. Hart's wishes a private service was held.
