Hearing the news of Mr Hardy saddens me! He was one of a kind! A man I grew close to in the early 90s as a father figure who I continued to call “dad”. Just FaceTimed him yesterday and cannot believe he is gone on his 100th birthday! Living a full life he made everyday full of laughs, enjoyment & holding that big cigar! I cannot express how sorry I am for the entire Hardy & 84 Lumber family! Dad was simply the best! May he rest east in the Good Lord’s hands & his memory be eternal. 🙏💔 @84lumber This is one of my most favorite pictures ever of “dad” & my sis @maggiehk84 ❤️
