Richard E. Hardish

I somehow searched Rich Hardish as I fondly remember him as a baseball and basketball coach in my early teen years growing up in Woodbridge NJ. He was a really good man who always had time and encouragement for us kids. He showed us what a major league curveball looked like. I´ll never forget him taking us to the Polo Grounds in NY to watch the NY Titans play the San Diego Chargers in football. I am now 78 and had a great life having gone to the USAFA, flew in the Air Force and with...

Miss you Dad, every day....

In response to Mr. Hardish's family: I've been researching the history of minor-league baseball in my hometown of Jackson, Tennessee, for the past 15 years. I even wrote a book about it. I wish I had been able to contact him for his memories of playing for the Jackson Generals. Feel free to contact me.

Deepest condolences to the Hardish family. I'm familiar with Mr. Hardish's professional baseball career with the Jackson Generals in the Kitty League in 1954. His first victory of the season broke a historic 27-game losing streak.

Thoughts and prayers for you aunt sue and rest of the Hardish family, our deepest condolences during this tough time..Mr Hardish was a great man and was loved greatly and will be deeply missed by many....

Dear Aunt Elsie, Susan, Rich and John, we are so sorry for your loss. We thought Uncle Richie was a great guy and enjoyed talking to him whenever we saw him. Even though it seemed like there was always a too much time between those talks, I could always count on a passionate conversation about the Giants, Mets and golf. He will be missed.

Sincerely,
Joe and Denise Fuzak
