Leroy E. Hart's Obituary
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body.
But rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming...
"Wow what a ride!"
(This quote hung in our Dad's house for years.)
LeRoy E. Hart, 81, of Puyallup, passed away on June 24, 2019. He was born in Aurora, IL on November 26, 1937, the son of Roy and Jessie (Black) Hart.
LeRoy proudly served his country in the United States Air Force.
He graduated from Clover Park High School which is where he met his wife, Janet. The two were married on August 17, 1957. LeRoy went on to work for New Era Equipment Company in Tacoma for 50 years as an Equipment Salesman. LeRoy had the "gift of gab", a kind heart, and since no one was a stranger he took care of everyone.
He is survived by his three children, Robert (Joni) Hart, Terasa (Destiny) Hart, and Kristina (Jim) Holst; eight grandchildren, Liz, Amy, Cody, Nick, Jared, Melissa, Summer, and Railey; many great grandchildren; and brother Phil Hart. In addition to his parents, LeRoy is predeceased by his beloved wife Janet in 2011, and his brother Walter Hart.
A funeral service will be celebrated at 1pm on Sunday, June 30, in the Garden Chapel at Mountain View Funeral Home and Memorial Park, 4100 Steilacoom Blvd SW, Lakewood. Burial will follow in the park.
