"We are deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Hart MacDougall," said Bill Downe, Chief Executive Officer, BMO Financial Group.

Hart spent more than thirty years at BMO, culminating in holding the role of Vice Chairman in the early 1980s. He was also a Director of the bank from 1974 to 1984. His volunteerism served as a role model to future generations of bankers.
