It is with great sadness that we announced the passing of the patriarch, muzzleloader legend, and Son in Robert, W Hart and Son Inc., Wallace “Wally“ Hart. After a short battle with cancer, he passed away peacefully in his home Monday, March 23. He is survived by his son, Bobby, daughters, Laura and Carla, second wife Nenita, grandchildren, Allison, Ashlee and Daniel, and great children, Hazel and Blair.
Born and raised in Nescopeck, he was an accomplished and widely respected custom rifle manufacturer and marksman. Wally earned recognition for his precision, skill, and passion for the industry and craft. He was especially known for his expertise in custom-built muzzleloader rifles and took great pride in mentoring others and sharing his knowledge. Wally found great joy in hunting, competitive rifle shooting, and the camaraderie of fellow enthusiasts.
Having a passion for youth, hunting, and the outdoors the family is asking in lieu of flowers that you donate to the Pennsylvania Wilds. They provide mentorship, and training to youth as well as restoring and maintaining wildlife habitats throughout the state of Pennsylvania. A link has been provided for your convenience.
A viewing will be held on Friday, March 27 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Heller‘s funeral home in Nescopec Pennsylvania. The service will be held on Saturday, March 28 at 11 AM at Heller’s funeral home. In internment will follow.
While the family loves all of the supports, they ask for time to grieve.
Dad, Pops, Wally, we will miss you and always love you.
