HARDY, John Harold Lt. Col., CD WWII Veteran Peacefully at the Montfort Hospital on Monday, February 14, 2005 in his 80th year. Beloved husband of the late Betty Jean (nee Relyea). Loving father of Heather Anne (Thomas Cormack), John Arthur Hardy, Robin Morley Hardy (Genevieve Garceau) and the late Robert George Hardy and daughter-in-law Heather. Cherished grandfather of nine. Survived by his sister Janet Wallace (Don) and his brother Morley Hardy (Nora) and Ted Hardy (Valerie). John was a man of courage, love and discipline. He lived by the credo, look after your soldiers first and in return they'll look after you. John was a dreamer, futurist, a man of dedication, conviction and compassion. He served his country and his community, he worked and played hard and always went the extra mile in anything he did. His many friends and family will greatly miss him.
