CHARLES HARTSHORN

Charles and I became friends while I was stationed at the Naval Air Facility in El Centro. It was nice to have friends other than just navy people. Duane McDonald, Birmingham, Alabama

I am very saddened to hear of Charles´ passing. Many fond memories of Finley School days come to mind. He was a good teacher who cared about his students. He will be missed. My deepest condolences to Bunnie and Sarah.

Mr. Hartshorn was my teacher at Finley Elementary in Holtville Ca. As an 8 year old third grader, I whole heartedly believed him when he said he was 100 years old. I now know he was in his fifties. Recently in the last 5 years, I ran into him at one of Yuma's libraries. He had entered an art contest. I introduced myself as one of his former former students and he remembered my brother, the time my Dad volunteered for science day, where my parents live, and their occupations. I will always...

My deepest condolences to you and your family there´s no words during this time of grief but with your Faith God will give you the the strength God Bless you and your family. Amen Amen .

on behalf of the rose family we are sad to hear about the passing of MR. hartshorn. i (Thomas Rose) was one of his third grade students. he was the best teacher and then i would see him at the library from time to time. he shaped me into the man i am today. it is time to say goodbye to Mr. Hartshorn but i know that he is in heaven. I am glad to have know him. I will be praying for his family and Mr. Hartshorn will have a place in my heart as well as those who have passed away.

Mr. Hartshorn was a huge influence in my life. I was blessed to not only have him as a teacher, he was another "dad" to me as a teen. He worked hard to live a full healthy life and inspired me in many ways setting a good example. Big hugs to Sarah and her mom at this difficult time. May the many happy memories live on.

Mr. Hartshorn was the best and most inspirational teacher in my life. May the wind always be at your back as you continue your journey.
