Would like to find daughter Susan Harman Britt..wore her dad's pow bracelet whn I was just a young girl in the 60's...My name is Sylvia Palazzo.Cassese.

Dear Hardman Family,
Thank you for sharing Bill with us. We worked together at the museum where Bill was the hands down expert on naval aviation for those of us in the research section. Hand Bill a photograph of an ancient naval aircraft and he could if pressed fill in all the details. He was not one to flaunt his knowledge but ask and he would give you a detailed straight answer.

Bring up a baseball question and Bill could if asked, fill in all the facts of the game he loved...

Bill, you will be missed. What an honorable man. Very rare indeed. To the family, I pray the Holy Spirit will comfort you in your time of loss. May He give you the peace that passes all understanding.

I did learn a lot from Bill in the modeling realm, thanks Bill. The last time I saw him I was helping him put his new wing on his Crusader in the case after our Saturday meeting. I noticed he had a grin on his face as he admired his work and seemed to say "that looks like it should...

I served with Bill in Viet Nam. He was second seat in my A6 when he and Leo were shot down. I was the plane captian of the Skippers plane and Bill was the B/N. May God be with his family and friends as they travel thru these times. God bless Bill, he was a real American Hero.

I remember wearing the POW bracelet with his name on it when we were kids in the late 60's and early 70's, I was told he was my Uncle Bill Hardman, he was my father's first cousin , so I guess we were cousins. I made copies of the news reel made right after he was shot down in '67 onto VHS in the 90's and gave them to his Mom, my great Aunt Sadie. My grandmother Kathryn Morgan Nease was Sadie's sister. All gone now. Rest in Peace. My thoughts are with you Chief and your family.

We are very deeply saden by bill's passing. We knew bill for over 8 years and he was a very good friend and he was a master in modeling.He was a mentor to my husband when it came to modeling.Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.Bill we will always remember you and will miss you greatly.

Susan and Chris:
My deepest and sincerest condolences in the loss of such a great and courageous man. He has left his mark here on us all and through your spirit as well. You can lean on me.

Fair winds and following seas in your final journey Bill. Bravo Zulu on a life well lived. You'll be missed.

As Bill's first cousin, we were childhood playmates. I enjoyed watching him make model airplanes and drop his metal soldiers tied to large white handkerchieves from the roof of our Morgan grandparents' chicken coop. I adored him as a high school baseball star, prayed for him as a POW, rejoiced at his release and will always be proud that he was a great American hero and patriot. Truly the love of his life was airplanes and the military. My sympathy to David, Susan and Chief.
