Donald A Hobart

years of age. He is survived by his wife, Cynthia, his children, Sharon, Victoria

(Vicki), Mark, Paul and Thomas (Tom), daughters-in-law Nancy and Sandy, his son-in-law,

Don Holma, and grandchildren, Stephanie, James, Austin, and Emily.

Don joined the Naval Reserves when he was 17. He was so anxious to serve that his

parents had to sign for him. Because he loved it so much he stayed in the Navy for 29

years until he was honorably discharged. He graduated from the University of Houston

with a B.S. in Mathematics. He went to work for Texaco as a computer programmer in

the1960's.

He, then, went into business for himself and ran a successful tool rental store while

Cynthia ran the party side of the business. After that, he decided to raise livestock

and started a cattle ranch. His interests included motorcycles, genealogy, raising

cattle, honeybees, and chickens and farm life in general.

He didn't drink, smoke or gamble which everyone credited to his living to be 93 years and

1 month young. It could be said that his worst vice was the peanut butter and crackers

he ate every night after dinner.

He had a good sense of humor and loved receiving humorous birthday cards from his family.

Dad was the one that his children turned to whenever they had a problem of a technical

nature. He always had a solution. He will be greatly missed.
