Keep up the "Unsinn Machen". "Waljttjn tjand tha".
To honour Hart's wishes, cremation has taken place and a celebration of his life is being planned and will be announced soon.
Hart's family would like to thank all for their support, love, prayers and care, over the past few months, and to extend a special thank you to the staff at Hamilton's Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre, the CCAC and the VON for their dedication and all they do so well.
