Dr. Robert W. Hard

I've been wondering about the Dr. Bob Hard I met in Tampa during January of 2005 and sat down tonight to find him. I'm afraid I now have to say, I sadly have. I wanted to share one more conversation with one of the guys that got me through hell. Thanks Dr. Bob and I wish you well. To the family, I'm sorry for your loss. I will never forget his discharge statement acronym. It sums it up. God Bless you Dr. Bob.

Almost a year has gone by, and you are not missed any less.... Think about you all the time and feel so sad that I can't pick up the phone to talk with you. I hope that you are resting peacefully. God Bless You.
Love, Lydia

Doc and I were friends for many years. As We all know He had a very unorthodox approach to medcine, but overall He was a great doctor. I hope to God there is a heaven because this is where He belongs. My only regret is that I didnt see him since September, God Bless Doc.

Dear "Bob",
There was not a day gone by that you have not been in my mind. Some
of my greatest memories were spent with you. I will miss your hillarious stories and the advice and wisdom that you have given me over the many years. I hope that you will find peace and fun in Heaven...you are the BEST!
Much Love,
Lydia

"O Captain! My Captain!" On November 7th the world became a little dimmer with the passing of Dr.Robert Hard. Gifted physician and athlete, mentor, friend. Elmhurst Hospital's best resident 1980-1983. A superb passer in basketball, relentless competitor in handball. Who you wanted in charge when it counted, whether in the middle of the night in the E.R. or at the end of a close game. Charismatic, humorous and engaging. You are remembered and missed by many. Thanks for the memories, thanks for...

I always enjoyed going to Dr. Hards office to see the newest decorations he had added. He was someone special. I'll miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family

Doctor Hard always had time to listen & always gave me guidance, as well as a reason to laugh. He hid a beautiful heart behind wit & sarcasm, he was a treasured friend. He will be fondly remembered as one a kind. My prayers are with his daughter Jennifer, she was the apple of his eye as, well as his family & friends.

To all who had the unique experience of knowing Bob"The Hardster" A friend for life. I'll miss his intelligence,quick wit, and humor. Oh yes his ego too ! We met at age six and spent our youth, adolesence, and young adult life getting in and out of trouble. Never a dull moment and lots of drama !! Lasting Peace for Bob. Although something tells me he may be causing some chaos in heaven ....I'll miss our occasional chats..Give my best to Oppo Dank and brother Jim .... Love ya kid, Woodsie

A great (but somewhat unorthodox) physician and a good friend. Our Tuesday night trivia games at Nickelodeinn are now a part of the "good old days". I will miss you.
