 The first time I tried this I just cried, and couldn’t write, because you will always be loved and missed. Although your gone the memories of our happy times in band, football games, trips (woohoo) and playing together at the Billy Graham Crusade will never fade from memory. I know heaven was happy when you arrived.

I knew John Hardison had passed because I had talked to him just before he had gotten worse.He had a wonderful wife who was also a nurse.Both his sisters had died,his brother in law & nephew had died just before John..all from cancer.After we got out of school he was always working on some car engine or trying to make a car go faster & was teaching my brother all about car engines,then he moved on to his Honda 750. When he wasn't doing that he was riding his horses,which I enjoyed the love of horses & riding at that time.

    He married his 1st wife Essie because she didn't have anyone & he didn't want her to die alone.He married his 2nd wife Carla some years later & was so in love with her.I am so sorry they didn't have more time together.

Carla was also a nurse who helped him in final months.He was always talking about all his band friends,

Richard Lackey & Bill Tussig,Dotty Wells as well as all the others in band.He never met a stranger,he only had lots of friends.On Sat night you would find him at Hialeah Speedway,then went to Pizza Palace where he would stay for hrs & talk some more.Every year he was at the Daytona Speedway.

  I am sure he is watching over all of us talking over his fond memories at MHS.May he rest in peace now.
