Clarence Richard Hart, M.D.
Of Lake Geneva, formerly of Fontana
Clarence Richard Hart was born January 22, 1938 in Oak Park, Illinois to Stephen and Elizabeth (Keating) Hart. He passed away on Sunday, June 26, 2022 at his home in Lake Geneva surrounded by his loving family.
Clarence grew up in Oak Park and attended Fenwick High School. He then went on to graduate from Loras College and the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Chicago. Clarence completed his orthopedic residency at Tripler Army Hospital in Honolulu, HI. He married his college sweetheart, Doris Kennedy, on June 27, 1959. Clarence, a proud member of the Army and skilled orthopedic surgeon, felt deeply privileged to have cared for his fellow soldiers while serving in Vietnam. Clarence’s life purpose was to serve others, whether it being a member of the armed services, a loving husband, father and grandfather, or a caring physician in his community. Those who knew him enjoyed his wry sense of humor. He loved to sail on Lake Geneva, golf anywhere, and absorb an interesting history book.
Clarence is survived by his wife Doris (Kennedy) Hart; his children Michael (J.J.) Hart, Timothy Hart, M.D., Elizabeth Hart, Amy (Tony) Hart Phillips, Kathleen (Andrew) Vegter, and Christopher (Anne) Hart; grandchildren Caroline, Juliette, Claudia, Emma, Jake, Claire, William, Charlie, and Katie.
He was preceded in death by his parents and 3 brothers.
The Hart Family would like to thank the wonderful doctors and staff that cared for Clarence.
A Funeral Mass will be held on Thursday, July 8 at 11AM at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church, 148 W Main St, Lake Geneva, WI. The service will be followed by a luncheon at Abbey Springs Yacht Club in Fontana.
