Ralph J. Hardy Iii
Everyone who knew my dad loved him.He was a real mans man!He will never be replaced,nor will there ever be another Man like him!!I remember a few years back,my Grandmother(Dad's Mom)told me,you will never be the Man that your Dad is!Well at the time,what she said really hurt my feelings.It wasn't till the time of his passing what she was trying to do.All that she was doing was making me strive to be a better man!That was about 20 years ago,and I"am still trying to become that MAN!!Maybe one day I will,but untill I do,I promise to everyone Dear to me, I"ll never ever stop TRYING!!When people start saying,Hey! have you ever met Buddy's son Mann ( Ralph III )He's just like his DAD!!I would have served him Justice by being his son!!!I"ll Miss you Daddy!!Rest In Peace!
