Mr. Hartman was our neighbor and we would like to express our deep sympathy to his family. We will miss seeing him sitting on his front porch with his beloved dog. He would always wave at us whenever we drove past. We would walk our dogs by his home and he was always very friendly to them and to us. He will be greatly missed on Hatcher Street. He was a wonderful neighbor and a great spiritual man.

Junior will always be in my thoughts. I will always remember from beginning to end all the times we shared. He was a "Father-in-Law"
who listened and gave me the best advice that he could give anyone.

If he thought anyone was wrong he would tell them. However, towards the end he said he was trying to do what's right, because he wanted to say to the Good Man above tht he did his best.

I'll always cherish out times.
