ILION - Frank G. Hart, age 92, of 8 Harriett Ave., Ilion, passed away on Tuesday, March 5, 2013, at Valley Health Services, Herkimer.



He was born on April 11, 1920, in Ilion, the son of George and Anna (Krause) Hart, and graduated from Ilion High School. Frank was a veteran of WW II, serving in the US Navy. On June 27, 1952, he was married to Jean De Lavergne in Ilion. Mr. Hart was employed as a mechanical engineer at Remington Arms Co. of Ilion for over forty years, retiring in 1981. Much of his life revolved around the game of golf. In 1960, he won the club championship at Doty's Golf Course, where he also had three holes in one.
