Pat, Brian & Cindy - I am so sorry for your loss. The world will not be the same without Joe. He was one of my favorite people. I gave him trouble every time I saw him, and he gave it right back. You were blessed to have him and your mom as parents. I'm sure you will miss them every day. Do your best to remember the good times and the laughter. There was always plenty of laughter. Sending you a big hug and lots of prayers. Take care of yourselves.
Joe will be missed terribly. That smile and his love for life were infectious.
Rest In Peace with your beautiful Sally. ❤️🙏🏻
There are no words to describe the loss Southeast Kansas will forever feel after the passing of Joe Hart this past Sunday. Joe leaves behind a legacy of service to this community and a multitude of lives he touched. He was strong in his faith, something that no doubt brought him and his wife Sally through difficult times, especially the death of their little boy, Joey. His family was everything to him, which was evident by the light in his eyes whenever he mentioned his wife or children. He took good care of Sally when she became ill with the same heart of service he put into everything in his life. He was a businessman and he cared deeply for the clients he helped. He was a great friend, always taking the time to give this “kid” his opinion & direction when I asked for his advice. He volunteered for every nonprofit board in the area and never failed to work at an event that would help make our little corner of the world a better place to live. He was a positive man, always with a warm greeting and time to stop and visit, never failing to make one feel like they were the most important person in the world to him. I had the honor of serving on numerous boards with Joe, being a fellow Rotarian, attending the same church and calling him my friend. Joe was larger than life and a man I admired & respected. The world changed last Sunday but Joe will live on through all the good things he did, his love for our community and memories of the smiles he gave. My sincerest sympathy to Cindy, Brian & Pat and all of his family.

Sending love and sympathy to the Hart family. I grew up on the corner of College and Jefferson and therefore was very close to the Patterson family. Sally was an important part of my growing-up years. Along comes Joe and his dynamic personality and you couldn't help but love him too. I left Pittsburg in 1960 but saw Joe often when we were attending football games. Blessings to the family for most of you will not remember me. Carl and Linda Secrest Boswell.
Was so saddened to hear of Joe’s passing. He was always seen with a smile on his face & never met a stranger. Pittsburg just won’t be the same without him. My heart goes out to his family.
I am so very sorry for your loss! Joe was a very special person. I met him in 1979 while working for Mike Loy, CPA. Joe used to come in the office and always called me Red because of my red hair. We would exchange quick witted remarks every time I would see Joe. Joe always had a smile and his eyes had a twinkle in them right before he would say something to tease. I know the family will miss him very much and I will miss our conversations. Sending prayers to Joe's family.
I feel honored to have had Joe Hart as a friend and considered him to be a long time mentor. He loved his Family, his friends, and his community. Job well done, my friend.

I worked the front desk of the Pittsburg Public Library for 21 years. Every time Joe came in, everybody smiled. That was his special gift; he always said hello and treated us all like close friends. I had met Sally first, so when I met Joe, I said, "Oh. You're Sally's husband." When Sally heard that, she said that most people who meet her for the first time say, "Oh. You're Joe's wife."
Joe had a special Christmas suit he would wear to the PPL Christmas Party. It always made us smile.
Joe and Sally Hart were such a wonderful couple!
May Their Memory Be Eternal
