John played with the Hollywood Olympians in 1965. I was blessed to have been his teammate. John was not only our Offensive MVP but was a Great Teammate always praising our Offensive Line that I was a part of!!! I was blessed to visit with John when he became a School Principal and I worked with the Dolphins!!! Rest in peace John knowing you left the world a much better place!!!

I met Johnny while playing football for the Hollywood Olympians
I had the privilege of blocking for Johnny who was the best Offensive Player on our Undefeated Team
I would see Johnny when he would stop by the Miami Dolphins Training Camp where I worked
Johnny dedicated his life to mentoring youth
Although in a better place he will always be missed
Rest In Peace Johnny

I remember riding to Louisiana with the Hardge Family from Florida for Jeane graduation. It was one of the best times I had in my life. Mr. Hardge was a symbol of excellence along with the entire Hardge Family. I will never forget all the great advise over the years. Class of 93 and the Cobra Family loves you Mr. Hardge.

I first met Coach Hardge at New River JR High in 1971 and as fate would have it we both ended up at Cooper City High School the following year. I considered him a great friend.

I ended up towing him that day and he was a kid in a candy store riding in the wrecker. A few months later he was driving a wrecker fo a Dania company. He was a great mentor and friend and...

I just found out. Too late to give Mr. Hardge a last hug. Last we spoke it was my birthday last year, August 2018. We've been friends since 1979 when I started 9th grade at BA. He was such a special man. Stricter when he was younger; he became a mush in later years. I dont think he missed one of our reunions. He was very special to our whole class. I have loved him for years and am heart broken to hear of his eternal rest. I will miss him greatly. Love to his family. We were all...
