I don’t know why, but for some reason I have been thinking about Hardy. When I was in my early 20’s, Hardy cut my hair for a number of years, until I left the area. He always did a great job and I enjoyed our visits. He was a fine man. Eternal rest grant to him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.
