Boatnerd Discussion Forum

We are deeply saddened to hear that Al had passed. To his wife Jan and family Please accept our condolences as Al was respected by many and will be missed greatly. God bless ! Respectively Andy n Linda from Wisconsin.

Here's his obituary. I will miss Al. He was a gentleman of the highest order. https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/morni ... zBRy7wfXIU

That news is truly saddening. I did not know him well, but the weekend at Manistee working with him was truly enjoyable and memorable. Our little society has lost another favored son. Rest in peace Mr. Hart.

Very sad news indeed both Ken and Russ of Al’s passing. I don’t think or recall of ever meeting Al face to face but I do agree that he was a very kind and delightful man and boatnerd and he will indeed be missed at future Marine Flea Markets. My thoughts and prayers go out to both his family and many friends. I believe Al was also a regular here as well on this Discussion Board Page. Now he’s up in boatnerd heaven with many other truly and loved boatnerds that have departed and left us as it just isn’t the same anymore without many of our loyal boatnerds. Al will be missed greatly at future gatherings. Rest In Peace Al you’ll be missed. Sending a 3 Long and 2 Short salute to you.

I have just been informed by my sister, a member of Al Hart's congregation, that AL HART, a true gentleman and a knowledgeable boatnerd, has passed. Three long & Two short my friend.

Unfortunately, Al passed last evening, leaving some big shoes to fill in the maritime community. He will be sorely missed at future maritime flea markets, also. RIP, Al.

Hi Al. I hope you're feeling better as the days go on. Sure do miss your presence on ebay, but more importantly your recovery from your medical issue is what we all hope and pray for. Jim (engineer077)

Al. We are wishin you the very best in your recovery. We continue to pray for you and your family during your recovery. God bless! Andy.

Sorry to hear that. I send him my best wishes and hopes for a speedy recovery.

He was at the City of Milwaukee's Mariners Weekend in August. We had a great time. A pleasant and honorable gentleman. Hopefully he is OK.

Has anyone heard from Al Hart lately? I missed the GLMI marine flea market a few months back and I know he was a frequent seller at such events and haven't seen any of his items listed online for quite some time.
