Classmates, This afternoon, 5 January 2005, John and Leslie Hardy were laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. There were full Air Force honors appropriate to the occasion. Preceding the burial was a Catholic Funeral Mass at the Old Post Chapel. In attendance in addition to the immediate family (two sons, two daughters and a grand daughter) were 15 classmates: Jim Bergen, Jim and Nancy Cutchin, Chuck Ewing, Joe Franklin, Ted Gay, Bud Goldstein, Bill McCulla, Carl McNair, Dave McNerney, Rich Miller, Chuck Roades, Bob Russell, Matt and Betty Schepps, John and Ruth Sloan, and Bill Welter. John spent much of the last year of his life in a VA hospital in St. Petersburg. He was being treated for complications resulting from prostate cancer. He died peacefully on November 7th 2004. Leslie had died a few years earlier. John received many decorations for his service which included 101 combat missions over North Vietnam, and 72 missions in support of ground forces in South Vietnam. Matt Matt Schepps 5 JAN 2005 |
