I have known Mr. Edward Hardy for 20+ years. Over the course of these years, I have discovered that Edward is a very trustworthy and determined individual.

Dr. R. C.

I have known Edward Hardy for over thirty years. During the time that I have known him he has exhibited the characteristics of a man of integrity and a man who is resilient, ambitious, and passionate about the well-being and welfare of others. We’ve had the opportunity of working together in many different capacities, each time has been a pleasure, specifically because in my experience, it has been rare to find an individual with such consistent and exceptional deportment. He never passes up an opportunity to come to the aid and support of others. He also does it with a sense of humor and a cool head in the most stressful situations. Once he commits, he remains dedicated until he see’s the project through to completion. It is always an honor and a pleasure to share my words of gratitude and thankfulness, on his behalf. He is truly one of a kind.

In addition, he is a very pleasant and thoughtful person. His genuine and positive attitude is reflective of those around him. I would not hesitate to support Edward in any endeavor he seeks to pursue.
