Perry C Hart

Perry Hart, age 97, passed away peacefully on November 3, 2025. Born into a generation defined by service and resilience, Perry answered the call of duty as a young man, serving honorably in the United States Army during the Korean War. After his military service, he built a long and steady career in the aerospace industry, contributing to advancements that looked toward the future.

Perry was known by all who loved him as a man of quiet strength and unassuming character. He lived with honesty, humility, and a non materialistic spirit, finding joy in life’s simplest pleasures. He did not judge others, and his presence was a source of calm and reassurance.

Perry's hobbies reflected his appreciation for simplicity and discovery. He enjoyed the excitement of horse racing, wagering only two dollars a race, and found delight in coin collecting, not through purchases but by relishing the hunt for rare finds. He also loved a home cooked breakfast, savoring the comfort of a morning meal, and was rarely seen without a baseball style cap, which he always matched thoughtfully to his attire.

Perry is remembered with love by Shirley Sanders, Donna Shimamura, and Perry Hart, Jr., along with their families.

At 97 years old, Perry’s life reminds us that true wealth lies not in possessions, but in integrity, humility, and love. He will be remembered as a man who lived simply, honestly, and with quiet dignity.
