Condolence: Bill & family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your grandfather. He was truly a great man.
After my dad passed away. I asked him if I could still fish the pond with my grandkids ( my dad Carl fished there often & I was usually with him)
He told me yes anytime I wanted just as long as I let him or your grandmother know I was out there in case something happened.
I used to have many chats with him when I stopped by..
He truly was a great man & will be missed by many.

Condolence: Dear Hardy Family,
Uncle Bid meant so much to all of us. My mom loved him with all her heart, and I know they are together now. Uncle Bid was a man I always looked up to. He was kind and smart, and he always had time to talk to me even though he was busy. I watched him in awe whenever I was at the farm and he was there tending to things. I am so very sorry for your loss.
Love,
Pam

Condolence: Allen "Bid" was a wonderful man who cared much for the community and our town of stanton. Many years ago he took time out of his busy family farm and hauled all of the dirt in for the making of the cemetery entrance here in town. It took several loads from his farm and I appreciate him doing that and the flowers and tree we planted have always been beautiful growing in the soil he donated. Chad and I enjoyed our visits and the history that he shared with us on our visits. My husband and I have great respect and honor for Bid and know he is in a much better place now. Thinking of the entire Hardy family.
Love
Penny (Ritter) Barber

Condolence: Although I did not know your father/grandpa that well, from being around his family I know all I need to know about the man he was. Meeting Bill in college definitely changed the trajectory of my life in many positive ways. In short, the Hardy Family has been part of my life for over 26 years and I have many great memories that have taken place on the farm Mr. Hardy and his brother started those many years go. I am thankful for that and for the friendship of the Hardy Family. So know that my heart is saddened by your loss and please accept my deepest condolences and sympathy during this difficult time.
