Laurie and Family,

I think of you often, but mostly at this time of year. I remember all the fun we had a Logos together in the kitchen. John was a special man. Robert remembers him from the Bible study. We have all been blessed to have him in our lives. I pray that you all are well. John, your bravery and faith in the terror of 9-11, has been an inspiration to us all.

Having been told about this site not long ago, and sharing the same surname as John Patrick Hart, prayers are said for his family. Perhaps we are related, perhaps not but I honor the Hart name and John Patrick Hart.

John was always a positive upbeat person who truly cared for others. His sacrifice ads to the reality of this tragedy to all who knew him.

I met John when we were attending the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire in the 80s. He was president of the Student Accounting Society. John was always so helpful to everyone and he had the BIGGEST smile that would light up the room. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family on this 10th anniversity of September 11. You are a true American hero, John! God Bless America!

On this 10th anniversary of 9-11, I remember John as a friend who challenged me in loving ways to be a better person. He did it always in a calm and loving way, a way that you would do anything for him because he was willing to do anything for you.

During a softball practice, while I was up for batting practice, John decided to sit down in deep center field and challenged me to hit it over his head. The very next swing it did and all that I saw of John was his backside running as fast as he could shaking his head in disbelief.

From what I understood, that was what John did on 9-11, turned and ran back towards the towers in hopes of helping others. We miss you John and some day we will eat smoked salmon again together.

My memory of Mr. John Hart was someone I will never forget. He represents much dignity, moral, goodness, caring and dedicated in every aspect of his life. I remember how wonderful of a man he was, a loving family man, he loved his wife and kids. He had the upmost passion for his work and every aspect of his life. When he walked in the room he had respect from all. He was funny, smart, and happy just to name several things. I can type all day long however that would not be enough to explain his vision for life. He was a straight shooter meaning he stated what was on his mind and did not sugar coat anything. From a business prospective I can honestly say he is one in a million. I wish everyone could follow his lead with much fairness, respect, integrity, passion. I believe if we had more people like this in our working environments or better yet in our governments seats our country would be a better place to live. God Bless your family and friends, you definitely impacted so many people in such a positive way and what I really wanted to say is Thank you and God bless...

I think you John each year at this time. I hope and dream your family keep spirits up and know that your memory is with many of us that do not even know them. I think back to high school and remember our special moments together. You touched my heart, and see you have many others as well.
In memory, always.

Every year I feel blessed to have known John Hart. He was a awesome flag football player for Northampton and a great role model to me. I pray for Laurie, Amy, Jeff and the rest of the Hart family for strength and comfort during this time of year. <3

p.s. Would love to see a picture of him on this site.

I knew John briefly at Franklin Templeton. He was both quite kind and very smart.
His actions on 9/11 were heroic. He was obviously selfless and brave beyond measure.
I am sorry for your loss.

Laurie,
I pray all is going well for you and your family after almost 10 years since 911. I decided to do an Internet search on John after watching the news from yesterday. I had no idea a site like this existed.

We had the pleasure of knowing John, you, and your children from Northampton United Methodist in the late 90's. I have kept the memorial picture of John on my desk at work for almost 10 years as a constant reminder of the special person he was and how we need to appreciate what we have each day. I have told all three of my children the story (multiple times) of the day John and I played against each other in flag football across from the church and how we both managed to totally rip each others shorts apart grabbing for the flags during the game and how we had to return home in what was left on that afternoon. My 10 year old son, in particular, thinks that is one of the funniest stories I tell. I just wanted to drop you this note to let you know that we often pray for you and the kids, and to let you know John is constantly remembered for the great man that he was to all who met him. God Bless you and the kids.

I'm no longer with Franklin Templeton, but I've never forgotten John. I always felt like he was the kindest leader at Franklin. Wishing you all peace and happiness.

John is my great uncle. (He's the uncle of my mom, Angela.) I barely knew him, but I remember seeing him at a few family get-togethers in Eau Claire. I remember playing with his kids. I hear nothing but good about their family, and I hope that one day I can meet Emily and Wes again at a huge family get-together. I'm very sorry for your loss, and I miss you guys!

I knew John from when I was a child. I grew up playing baseball with his son, Jeff. I knew the whole family, Lori, Jeff, Amy, Emily, and Wes. He was a great man.

I knew John from working in his department at Key Bank, Cleveland in the late '90s. He was always very kind and cheerful, and he treated everyone with respect. He was a great person to work with, and it is a terrible loss.

I never knew this web site existed until my husband (Jon) printed it for me about John. I knew John and his sister Sandy from Eau Claire. I was in the Sundowners Drum and Bugle Corps with them when we were kids. My sister Kris was part of the Doll and Pet parade with John when they won first prize being the "Beverly Hillbillies." My husband Jon graduated from Memorial High School with Sandy. Sandy married Dr. Shelly, who takes great care of my mother, Jan. While reading these comments, I had to smile at the remarks about the grilled cheese sandwich being called a "cheese toastwich" because that's what we called it, too.

Even though I hadn't seen John in years before 9/11, he was a part of my childhood, memories you never forget. He was a sincere, goodhearted person who had a great smile and personality. He will be forever missed. I wish you and your children and family continued peace. My you know God's healing through other people's actions and words.

I don't know if we are related, but I plan on finding out. If we are, I am sorry I never met you, and I am sorry you had to pass away like that. If we are not, I will always remember you more than anyone else on the day of remembrance, 9/11.

I'm thinking of you, John, on this September 11th, as I always do on this day. I told my kids about you this morning. You were such a good dad. I remember stopping by to drop something off to Laurie and meeting you for the first time. I caught you in the middle of being protective of Laurie's oldest daughter and who she was talking to on the phone. I was impressed by your strong love and concern for her. We were right in the middle of getting to know you when you left this earth. I will always remember you.
