WILSON HARDING "HARDY" ARCHER

My dear sweet Helen, Ric, Delores & Jan,
I am sooooo sorry for your loss. Memories of the good times we had in the "good ole days"! I can see Howard & Hardy now hugging & so happy to see each other and sweet little "Nancy".
So good to talk to you on the phone, the other day. Wish I could have been there to give you a hug.
I pray Heavenly Father will comfort you and bless you with all the righteous desires of your hearts. Feel my love and prayers for you across the miles.

Dear Mrs. Archer and family, we were saddened to hear of Mr. Archer's death but have fond memories of being neighbors and friends. You are in our thoughts and prayers.Beverly Garrard Harlow and Leahman Garrard

Mr Archer was a great friend to me and one who always encouraged others in their passion or pursuits. Such a great and happy, positive man..A life lived well. God bless and rest for Mr. Hardy!

“Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death.” Unknown Author

My brief interactions with Mr. Hardy always left me with strong impressions of his inner happiness, joy, love, determination, caring and really bad jokes. I hope you...

Hardy was a so much fun to be around. I will never forget the good times at Logan Martin Lake playing around the RV site. I know he will be greatly missed , but welcome in a better place. Hardy made so many people happy with his gift of music. God Bless, Doyle

Hardy was a true original and a man of great devotion to his family and his craft...music, more importantly, the teaching and sharing of his craft. I remember hanging out with Ric as a teenager and seeing Hardy breaking down new song arrangements for his students, never settling for status quo. I remember going to their camp site at Rickwood Caverns, the early morning Country Boy Eddy shows or the jam parties at the house, (when I eagerly awaited the drummer to pass-out so I could sit in)...

Sandra, we were saddened to learn of the loss of your Uncle. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Mr. Archer served in the Ninth Infantry alongside my dad, Pat Reagan. After my dad's passing, I had the privilege of hearing Mr. Archer share some phenomenal stories of their exploits during the war. I've always treasured those stories and have been grateful to Mr. Archer for being willing to talk about them. My heart goes out to his family - he was a member of the Greatest Generation, to whom we all owe a debt of gratitude.

HARDY, WAS A FUN GUY TO BE AROUND. WE PLAYED MUSIC TOGETHER FOR ABOUT 7 OR 8 YRS. WE LOVE YOU MAN. RIP
