Read MoreI was out tending my roses a few weeks ago and i recalled John told me of his Mr Lincoln roses, and how someone i believe a family member would not call them Mr Lincoln roses however renamed them General Lee or Grant.
I thought that was good story

Uncle John was a truly unique and outstanding man. I learned so much from him on our annual trips to the Carolinas. He was a treasure trove of family lore and always had great stories - especially when in the same room with Uncle Joe!
He preferred to be the punchline of his stories rather than the hero. I did not realize his military career was so distinguished, and enjoyed reading about his varied career.
Uncle John will be missed by many. I'm especially...

Words cannot describe what Mr. Harden meant and did for me. He was my family-away-from the family during my studies, and the key to understanding the American culture and its values. I could not have survived without his help, but in the end got to have a home-away-from-home through his kind and generous help. I will deeply miss him. My tears and prayers are with his family. May his memory be eternal!

I will miss John, he was a gentleman & a scholar. We had many interesting conversations on the history of Fairfield & Richland Counties at monthly breakfast meetings. My sincere sympathy to all of his family. William R. Bauer, Columbia, SC

John was a wonderful friend, always ready to lend a hand in any way he could. Beneath his elegant facade was a very frendly, funny man who truly loved life and knew how to enjoy it. He shall be missed in Opera Guild and the world is a better place for having had him in it. My thoughts are with the family in this time of loss.
