John Hart Jr.

Mr. John Hart Jr., age 92, of both Louisville, KY & Jupiter, FL returned to his Heavenly Father on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, with his daughter and son-in-law around him. He was born on January 22, 1933, in Princeton, Kentucky, to the late John Hart and Katie Goodwin Hart.

Mr. Hart was a proud veteran of the United States Army and a dedicated professional who spent over 30 years of hard work with Louisville Gas & Electric, retiring as a Senior Executive of Rates and Economic Research. After retirement, for the last 35 years, he divided his time between Kentucky and Florida, where he has always cherished spending holidays—especially Christmas—with his beloved family.

A graduate of the University of Kentucky, Mr. Hart earned his bachelor's degree in accounting and economics. He had a deep love for finance and the stock market and enjoyed staying informed and engaged long after his career ended.

In his leisure, John found joy in gardening, playing golf and spending time outside no matter where he was. He was also an avid UK Wildcats football and basketball fan. 

In addition to his parents, his beloved wife, Gloria “Dean” Hart and his sisters, Nettie Giannini and Georgie Merrick, both of Princeton, KY preceded him in death.

He leaves to cherish his memory, his loving daughter, Glenda and son-in-law, Joe Mendoza of Mt. Washington, KY; his sister, Barbara Prow of Evansville, IN and a host of other dear family members.

Funeral service will be held at 1:30 pm on Wednesday, July 23, 2025 in the chapel of Schoppenhorst, Underwood and Brooks Funeral Home (123 Winning Colors Dr., Mt. Washington, KY 40047) with burial to follow at Highland Memory Gardens, Mt. Washington. Family and friends may pay their respects on Wednesday from 11:30 am until the time of service at 1:30 pm at the funeral home.
