Obituary: Bart Hawley, Henry Hudson Regional Board of Education

Bart Hawley, who served on the Henry Hudson Regional Board of Education for the past seven years, died on Sept. 27, after a long battle with leukemia. He was 78.

Mr. Hawley succeeded his wife Genevieve onto the Henry Hudson board after her death in 2002. Mrs. Hawley had served for 27 years.

The patriarch of a community-minded family, Mr. Hawley once served as a fire chief, planning board member, deputy emergency management director and special police officer. His daughters Saranne Weimer and Annette Jordan both currently serve as presidents of boards of education – Atlantic Highlands and Freehold, respectively. His son-in-law Arthur Weimer, a former Atlantic Highlands councilman, now sits on the Henry Hudson Regional Board. Daughter Regina Hawley-Keelen served two terms on the regional board and is past president of the Henry Hudson school board, while son Joseph is a former member of both the Atlantic Highlands and Henry Hudson boards.

A funeral mass was celebrated on Saturday, Oct. 3 at St. Agnes Church in Atlantic Highlands. Donations may be made to the Genevieve M. Hawley Memorial Foundation, c/o Saranne Weimer, 34 E. Lincoln Ave., Atlantic Highlands, NJ 07716.
