My sincerest condolences, and know that God is present for you all as you navigate the transition of this giant of a man. - Darien Waite

Larry was my Mother's (Gladys Bryant Wilson Lyles, nephew of her youngest brother Walter Bryant Jr. Larry had so much human and smartness about himself. He enjoyed his cousins to the fullest when they got together at their Grandparents home in Pine Mountain, Georgia. It would be some many of us enjoying all of the fruit trees that they would gather and make pies. Larry loved visiting his family and they enjoyed him. You served your Master here now take your rest in the Arms of the Lord. Love Sallie and Family

Larry will truly be missed. He was loved dearly by his Aunt Tiny, (Essie Alexander). They truly enjoyed their memories as he was growing up and visiting Pine Mountain, Georgia in the Summer. His smiles was so big and you knew he was loving you and admired you when he was smiling. We love you Nephew, cousin. Sherry

Larry was a great frat brother at Clark College and an even better friend. The one thing that is as strong as death is the power of love. (Sing of Solomon 8:6). Si live will endure until we see him again in the resurrection! John 5:28, 29. Tyrone Terry

Sleep in Heavenly Peace. Your Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc/Alpha Pi Chapter Sisters of Clark Atlanta University.

To the Family, We know that your hearts are heavy, but "Trust in the Lord with all your heart." God is a healer and lifter of our heads. Let us rejoice and give Thanks for the memories He has allowed us to behold. Our brother and friend may be gone, but he will never be forgotten.

Mr. Hardy was the best Math teacher at Cedar Grove High School. For those of us who didn't care for math, he made you love it. He taught in a way that was so easy to where you were like, really. He had so much passion for teaching and all the children he taught. He was such a beautiful person. Then when you heard him sing, it was so amazing. Dr. Larry Hardy, you will truly be missed. Love, Romona

Please accept our sincere condolences and prayers as we celebrate the life of Larry D. Hardy. Please know that Larry's faith abides with all of us and he lives forever in our memories. Bob & Penny Jones

Larry was the nephew of our father, Leroy Bryant (Uncle Roy). Because we lived in a different part of the country, we didn't see him as much as our other relatives. But, when we did he was all smiles and full of energy. We will never forget his smile. "Life has to end. Love doesn't." We will miss you cousin Larry.

Although I know that no words can ease the loss you feel, just know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Dr. Hardy you are a great friend and you will be greatly missed.

Larry's late father and my father, George Bryant, were brothers. For many years Larry and I lived one exit apart and we both worked at Georgia State University for a brief time. He was truly an amazing person. Everytime I remember his beautiful smile, it makes me smile. I visited Larry a couple of months ago and as soon as I entered his room, he smiled. I'm so happy I got to see him one last time. He will be missed.

--Kathy Bryant-Bonds, Conyers GA

Larry was such an amazing cousin. He was the only child of my mother's brother Mr. Walter Bryant Jr. He enjoyed his visits during the summer with his Grandparents, Mr. Walter and Essie Bryant, his Aunt, Mrs. Essie P. Alexander and his cousins. Sleep in Heavenly Peace my cousin as you rest in God's arms.

Dr. Hardy was an exceptionally brilliant and kind individual. Unashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, he served faithfully as an educator and as a Servant Leader at Cathedral of Faith. He honored the Great Commission and contributed much to Kingdom of God.

Thank You God for bringing Dr. Hardy into my family's life. You taught me so much about not only academics but you showed me how to take that knowledge and use it to pay it forward. I Love and Miss You... until we see each other again. Many blessings be upon your Loved One's!

Doc. Thank you for Everything! You was in-fact, an angle on earth! Love You always DH.

I'm very sorry for the loss of your dear love one. May you get comfort from Revelation 21:3,4 that sickness and death will done away with.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
