Not sure what to say?

I still miss Bill so much.

Bill is greatly missed by many. He always had a smile and a kind word for me every time I seen him. He was a true southern gentleman.

Bill--

I am so sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. He was a wonderful person who always had a smile on his face and a warm welcome. You and the family will be in my prayers.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I have not been in contact with Bill in many years, but I will always thank my lucky stars for having known him.

With such a positive attitude, faith, energy, leadership and a "can-do" approach to life, we should all be like Bill Hardman! Age is irrelevant. Bill was a great inspiration to so many of us! With special love and hugs to Helen and Bill Jr.

Please accept my belated, deepest sympathy for the loss of Mr. Hardman. To his beloved family and friends may the Lord bestow you with comfort and peace.

Deepest sympathy to the family of Bill Hardman. As you reflect on cherished memories, rely on God's word for comfort and strength, especially during this time of loss. [Isaiah 12:2 and Romans 15:4]

Dear family. I was so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I will be forever grateful for his getting me involved in the promotion of Georgia. Everyone who knew Bill loved him and he will surely be missed. Ed Spivia
