Mr. Hardy's granddaughter

I'm yelling up to heaven to tell you " YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER IS A SCIENTEST !" As I have told Emma. I know you would have been at her college graduation & her grad school graduation if you were here. The many community service actives she participates in. Her work with minority girls to get them interested in Stem Science. She reminds me so much of you. I use to tell her growing up she had you brain. Raising Emma had been some of the best years of my life. Emma will pursuing her PHD degree this...

Dave, I miss you terribly and I pray you are at peace. You've fought all your life and now it's time to rise to your rest. I feel such a void in my life. I am so grateful Earl Caldwell introduced me to you nearly 10 years ago. Thank you for being the father figure I never had. I will always cherish our long phone conversations and dinner at The Office in Montclair. In my heart you will always stay.

Sending condolences to DH's family, friends and those lives he had an impact on. There are many lives that now have one less touch supporting them with your passing.

Dad i will always remember the memories you have given me throughout my life which is the greatest gift any father can give a child. Your grand children will forever remember the times they spent with you as well. I hope that i can continue your legacy and touch as many people as you have. I look forward to talking and seeing you in my dreams and please continue to guide me. I would like to thank everyone for there kind comments and memories of my dad.

Thinking of the Hardy family and sending sympathy and prayers at this time of loss. Friends of David from many years ago.

My condolences to the Hardy family.
I didn't know Mr. Hardy. I was listening to Ann Trip this morning on the radio and what she said about Mr. Hardy peeked my interest and I looked him up online. It was wonderful to see he was from Plainfield! I am from Plainfield, born and raised. Right now Plainfield is constantly in the news for all the negativity that goes on there. It is refreshing to read about a fellow Plainfielder who did something to help humanity. Inspite of all the negativity...

A true gentleman in every sense of the word, Dave Hardy was a giant of a man in my eyes, literally and figuratively.

I had the distinct honor and privilege of working with, and alongside, Dave at The Star-Ledger. And I relished every moment.

The epitome of dignity and class, Dave was a mentor, a confidant and, most importantly, a dear friend.

Dave promised me that when he finished his novel, he and I would share a limo and we would celebrate with an...

To my "Brother" Dave:
If it were not for you I would have never left my job as a Clerk Typist in the Hudson County Prosecutor's office oh so long ago. You encouraged me to be the best I could be. Thanks to you I lived my dream of becoming a lawyer and helping the sick and disabled. God Bless you my "brother". You are now with my biological brother in heaven where angels like you both belong but where those of us here miss you terribly. I will miss you forever my dear friend. As always,...
