Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

I send my condolences and heartfelt sympathies to the family and friends of John Hardin. He was one year behind me at Catawba College in Salisbury, NC. My most enduring memory of John is that he was a natural born recontour. His many funny stories would bring the Brothers to side-holding laughter. In addition, he would break out in song, both sacred and secular, at a moment's notice, as he lifted people's spirit. You have lost a brother, cousin, uncle, or nephew and I, along with many in the Catawba College community, have lost a dear friend. I am praying for comfort and healing for the Hardin family. He will be sorely missed. RIP, my Friend. Dolan Hubbard ('71), PhD
