Our Heavenly Father will fold the arms of His love and protection around those who put their trust in Him! Rest easy WB. Bob Hardy!!!
Bob was such a great mentor in my early insurance career, and would stop by our office many times when working with the Insurance Services Office (I.S.O.). Seeing him occasionally at Rotary functions was a joy. RIP my friend.
Bob was always willing to help in any Rotary function and helped me a great deal when I was President of the Belleville Rotary Club. Also, he was of great help to me in my early insurace years. Bob was a gentleman and all around good guy. Condolences to his family.
