My deepest sympathy to you, Arlene, and to the entire Hardt family. He will surely be missed by all. He is at peace.

My thoughts to Scott, Marc, April, and Mrs. Hardt. Mr. Hardt is still the most generous man I have known. Before being spoiled to an impromptu dinner at Benihana or Fonue Stube, I would get a "Cheek to Cheek" test or a stiff squeeze to the knee. This examplified how a man who could scare the hell out of me, also took such good care of me. The Ski Club may have enjoyed Mr. Hardt from May to September, but I was lucky enough to be near him all year long. I thank him for my continued love of water sports, my love of the state of Michigan, and special childhood that would have not been possible without him. I will always smile to myself and think of Mr. Hardt as I say to someone: "Not bad for a girl."
Peace to all the Hardts' and thank you so much for shairing some of your Camelot with me.
With Love,
Peter Tschurtz

My sincerest sympathy to Arlene - (you've been a trooper), your family and Dick's sisters and brothers. I have so many fond memories shared with DIck as we were "growing up".
From the bottom of my heart...to all the 'HARDTS".
