I remember Babe as the guy with the big hairy arms who scolded me for sliding down the cargo shoot at the store. I remember Babe giving me the big responsibility of watching the back entrance to the store while he was off loading merchandise, at the ripe old age of 9. (I think he gave me that job so I wouldn't slide down the shoot) I remember Babe 'cutting quite a rug' on the dance floor at our annual Christmas parties. I remember Babe's smile and his patience with a very precocious little boy. He was part of of the extended Hart family and my growing up years, and will be remembered and missed by us all.
Sincerely,

I will always remember "Babe" as The guy with the big hairy arms who was always scolding me not to slide down the cargo ramp at the store. Or him giving me the job, at the ripe old age of 10, of guarding the back entrance to the store when he was offloading merchandise. I remember the store parties and watching Babe 'cut a pretty good rug' on the dance floor. I remember Babe as the only Teamster I knew then, who looked like he could break me like a twig if he wanted. But I remember Babe the most, for his bigger than life heart which he always wore on his sleeve. Dad passed away 8/8/10. I suspect the 2 of them are looking down on all of us now, enjoying the fact that they now have passed the baton on to us.
Sincerely,

December 27, 2010
