Jim Hardin was a hero to five women.   He was raising his daughter when God brought a beautiful widow and her three girls into his world, and he won their hearts.    When his daughters married, his influence was evidenced in the sons he gained.

He had a praying momma, but it was the devotion June had for the Lord that turned his heart to Jesus.  Jim had a heart that chased after God, and everyone he met was touched by his love, kindness and courtesy.   Always the prayer warrior, we counted on dinner getting cold while he taught us to have reverence for God.

He was an offshore fisherman, bringing home coolers of his catch each day.  His neighbors and friends looked forward to his fish & shrimp fries – he most surely has the Fry-Daddy warming up now

Neighbors and friends didn't know what it was to ask for help.  Jim was watering plants, driving friends on errands and blessing people with custom signs.

He made everyone feel special, as though they were the only person in the room.  He was a very dear and true friend to many people.  He will be greatly missed.

His pretty blue eyes are flashing, and blonde hair is waving in the Heavenly sunlight and breeze.
