Henry Hart III, lawyer
Henry Hart III, 64, a lawyer who had held several positions in state government, died April 18 of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) at his home in West Mt. Airy.
When he retired in 2012 because of his illness, Mr. Hart was attorney-in-charge of the Philadelphia Bureau of Consumer Protection for the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office, a position he had held for 10 years.
Earlier he had worked in the Pennsylvania Office of Inspector General, eventually serving as Acting Inspector General, and before that he was chief counsel to the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency.
Born in North Adams, Mass., he was raised in Germantown and was a graduate of Germantown Friends School. He was a graduate of Amherst College and Boston University’s School of Law.
After graduating from law school, Mr. Hart returned to Philadelphia and accepted a position with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission, but soon after moved on to the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, where he spent nearly two decades as a trial lawyer, teacher and supervisor.
Jeffrey Minehart, one of his chiefs in the District Attorney’s Office who currently is supervising judge of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, Criminal Division, praised Mr. Hart’s skills as a lawyer.
“Henry always had a great perspective on how to approach a criminal case,” Minehart said. “He was extremely bright and never hesitated to give his opinion on how to proceed. He was usually right.”
Gary Tennis, secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, said that “sharing a courtroom with Henry Hart in the Major Crimes Unit was a humbling experience.”His intelligence, humor and just plain skill were beyond reach,” Tennis said. I couldn’t have asked for a better and kinder mentor.”
Physically active for most of his life, Mr. Hart liked to ride fast bikes, lift weights and drive powerful cars. He also enjoyed traveling with his family on road trips to New England.
He is survived by his wife, the former Sarah Baseden; sons Alex and Rich; daughters Jackie Vandenbraak Pfeiffenberger and Tessa Hart; his mother, Ann Hart; a sister, Elizabeth Hart, and two grandchildren.
A memorial service was held April 25 at Germantown Friends Meeting. Memorial donations may be made to Stratford Friends School, 2 Bishop Hollow Road, Newtown Square, PA 19073, or to the Ellyn Fund, ALS Association, Philadelphia Chapter, 321 Norristown Road, Lower Gwynedd, PA 19002. – WF

Nancy Miller Obituary
AGE: 88 • Tinton Falls
Nancy Louise Holt Miller, 88, died Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2015. Nancy was preceded in death by her husband, Wyatt W. Miller, daughter, Carol Holt Miller, and brother, David Holt. She is survived by her children, Susan W. Miller of Vallejo, CA, Joan Brown and husband Sanford of West Allenhurst, Wyatt Allen Miller of Ames, IA, Elizabeth D. Miller of Madison, WI; grandson, Zachariah Hennessey of New York, NY; nine other grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Nancy was born to Rachel and C. Clinton Holt on Feb. 28, 1926 in Whitehall, NY, and raised in Rutland, VT. While an Antioch College student, Nancy had a work-study job in Chicago, IL, where she met and fell in love with Wyatt (Bud) Miller; they married on April 15, 1950. Nancy said that Bud made her laugh everyday of their 55-year marriage. They raised their five children in River Forest, IL. Nancy worked as an administrative assistant in the teacher placement office at Concordia College in River Forest. When Bud retired, they moved to Fair Haven, NJ, where they raised grandson, Zach. Nancy was active in her new community with her church, Newcomers Club, and many volunteer activities. She and Bud also visited many countries including New Zealand, home of exchange-student "daughter" Susan Kear Shaw. Nancy moved to Seabrook Village, Tinton Falls, NJ in 2008, where she made many new friends and participated in activities there, especially Bible study. Nancy loved spending summers with her family and friends at her cottage in Harbert, MI. She was a member of the Seabrook Catholic Community, St. George's by-the-River Episcopal Church, Rumson, NJ; Church of the Mediator, Lakeside, MI; and Christ Episcopal Church, River Forest, IL.
Nancy's spiritual strength, kind and caring disposition, and exemplary life have been an inspiration to her children and grandchildren as well as many others who have had the privilege of knowing her. She will not be forgotten.
The family is grateful to the caregivers and medical providers at Seabrook Village who made sure that Nancy lived life to the fullest extent possible during the past year and a half. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations in Nancy's memory to the Seabrook Scholarship Fund, 3000 Essex Road, Tinton Falls, NJ 07753.
Visitation will be held from 1 to 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 22 at St. George's by-the-River, 7 Lincoln Ave., Rumson, with a funeral service immediately following at 2 p.m.
