Robert D. Hart of Gilbert, AZ, passed away at the age of 93 on May 3, 2023.
Robert, fondly known as Don or Red, was born in Alton IL on Valentine’s Day 1930. He graduated from Alton High School and served as a member of the Army Airborne during the Korean War. He married Marilyn Stine in 1955 and his work with American Oil took him to several locations throughout the country. Don lived in Decatur AL from 1965 to 2000 where he attended the Decatur First Church of the Nazarene and later Westmeade Baptist Church. Don and Marilyn moved to Arizona after retiring to be closer to family. His hobbies included trains and music, and he will always be remembered for his quick, dry sense of humor.
Don is survived by his daughter, Donna and her husband, Matt Evans; his grandchildren, Amanda Young and Eric Schwarz, as well as 11 great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife, Marilyn and daughter, Deborah.
A private memorial will take place in the Arizona Sonoran Desert.
