Kenneth "Glenn" Hart, 94, of Masontown, passed away Wednesday, September 19, 2018 at home with his loving family at his side.
He was born in Greer, WV, on February 10, 1924, a son of the late Lonnie and Ada Mae (Dalton) Hart.
Glenn had a few jobs during his life, including newspaper delivery, digging graves by hand using a shovel and spud bar, and as a school bus driver for Preston County. For many summers, the bus would be parked on the last day of school, and he would make the annual trips to Canada to hunt and fish with close friends.
Glenn was a true outdoorsman. He loved fishing, hunting, digging ginseng, yellow root, and ramps. He had great pride in his vegetable and flower gardens, always bountiful and beautiful due to his "green thumb" and his "special fertilizer". When not outside, Glenn would stay busy making fishing lures, necklaces from bear teeth, claws and turkey spurs, and other unique crafts.
It was a challenge to beat him in a game of 500 Rummy and he always had a keen eye for that one jigsaw puzzle piece.
He was an extremely proud veteran of WWII (1943-1945), for which he wanted to be remembered for the most. He served his country in the US Army, as a member of the 953rd Field Artillery, Battery A, as active duty took him to Normandy, Northern France, Ardennes, Rhineland and Central Europe.
Glenn is survived by a son Kenny Hart and wife, Kim of Washington, WV; two daughters, Susan Shahan of Masontown and Donna Guseman and husband Burchell Maddy of Reedsville; six grandchildren, Kevin Hart and wife Lisa, Teresa Zamora and husband Ethan, Brad Hart, David Ridenour and wife Rhonda, Cherity Shahan and Chris Guseman; eight great grandchildren, Christopher Hart, Heather Hart, Kortney Barker, Kaitlyn Zamora, Kimber Zamora, Alex Shahan, Davey Mayle and Erica Mayle; a great great grandson, Carter Mayle; a brother, Dennis Hart and his parakeets, Pete and Rose.
He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 55 years, Wanda Ruth (Williams) Hart; eldest daughter, Barbara Ridenour; a son in law, Carl Ridenour; a grandson, Robbie Shahan; a brother, Dale Hart and three sisters, Leona Myers, Virginia Uphole and Elsie McCabe.
