My heart goes out to the Hartman family. I met Red about 20 years ago, I am a good friend of his son in law Steve, I remember he always had a smile on his face and a chuckle was always emanate.

Dear Hartman Family,

I met "Red" on a few occassions when I hung out with Tom, and was Tom's date on a few of the conventions he took me to. Tom and I met when I use to do the accounting for Village Inn. Your family was so nice, and Red was a very very nice man. (You may remember me as Denise Payroll - this name gave everyone a good chuckle at the conventions.) May God Bless all of you at your time of sorrow!!

My sympathy goes to all the Hartman clan at Red's passing. He was a friend and a good businessman I had the pleasure of working with for a long time. The hardware folks in Kansas City all knew of Red's enjoyment of the business and his ability to have fun.

I last saw Red about a month ago, for which I am grateful.

I'll miss you Red. Rest in peace.
