Tom was a great human being. I remember fondly our hike in the Grand Canyon so many years ago; but it seems like yesterday.
He and his kindness are missed.

My Uncle Tom was a true mensch. Anyone who expressed interest in joining his adventures in the National Parks was welcome and fully embraced by Tom and his Core Group, without regard to matters such as age or prior experience. Tom Harty shared his enthusiasm for life, his love of hiking and the incomparable Grand Canyon, his essential kindness, intelligence and bountiful spirit with all who entered his realm. Those who knew or walked with him, however long or briefly, will never forget him.

I just heard about this today. I am so deeply sad. Tom Harty was a friend of mine. He would come by my place of work every two weeks selling his wares and charming all that met him. He was honest, kind, generous, loving, smart, lover of life, and wonderful. He and Joanne came to my 50th birthday celebration a few years back. I am so sad. Tom inspired all of us with his hiking and activity into his 90's. My condolences to his children, Joanne and his many many friends. RIP AND Tom please KNOW YOU INSPIRED MANY AND MANY MANY LOVED YOU.

I had the great pleasure to sit and talk with Tom at the Harty farm on a few occasions. I just loved hearing about some of his hiking adventures and travels, such an interesting guy. He also told me the story of how he met his second wife, and how he was a lucky man to have found love again. You could just feel the love he had for Joanna, and how she meant the world to him. It was true love. To the Harty family, my deepest sympathy - Rest in Peace Tom -May God Bless you~ and your family.

In memory of Tom I will share a moment that truly depicts Tom Harty. One day Tom came to Lyndonville Vermont he picked up some wholesale goods to "Pedal" and we wen't next door to Mrs. Lyndonville diner for coffee. Having talked about several of his hikes and current events. After a brief moment of silance Tom looked at me and simply said with the face of a judge "you want to know the secret of long life (He was only in his 80'S at the time!)
I said yes Of course I want to know. And again with a straight he says GOOD GENES. To a man that did not have a bad gene in his body we will miss you and rest in peace. I must mention Arlene And Marty Harty two very close long time friends with Marty the oldest at 97. Be strong and We are so sorry for The Entire Harty Family for your tragic loss. Douglas Bengston
