Not sure what to say?

We are former neighbors of Deb, and we knew Paul and Marge from our years teaching at Creighton. We are so sorry to hear of Paul's passing. All the best to the family.

Please accept my condolences and my heartfelt sympathy for your great loss. A few years ago , pre-covid, Paul reached out to me via email and letters to share some pictures of my father and mother. Paul was a treasured friend of my father and mother, John and Ann Rice. When I was a teenager, and was working at the snack shop at Fontenelle Forest , I remember how he would always say Hi!

So Sorry for your loss

I want to offer my sincere sympathy to the family of Paul Hartnett. Paul was a kind and caring man. I really enjoyed working with him at the State Legislature when Paul was a Senator. He had an infectious laugh and always was a serious legislator without taking himself too seriously. He will be missed.

I met Paul on a trip to Israel in September 2019. It was a pleasure sharing the experience with him and Debbie. I won't soon forget him. Such a nice and kind person. Glad I got to meet you.

My heart goes out to the family he was a great human being he went ahead for me to get an abuse bill passed for all animals of Neb in the 80's I will be grateful to him for what he did for me went to capital and testified and the bill passed I will always be grateful to him for helping me God Bless you Paul for all you did to help me get this bill passed thank you Kay Harding

To the extended Hartnett family: I remember Dr. Hartnett with respect, fondness, and gratitude. He was a wonderful educator and made an enormous impact on so many teachers and educational administrators; quite a legacy! Creighton was blessed to have him as a faculty member for so many years. I will remember him at Mass today, praying also that God hold all his family close.
