Early this morning, a co-worker was struck by a drunk driver on his way to work. Hardy Carrow died 2 hours later at the hospital.

I barely knew Hardy – this is a large office complex – but when I saw him, he always had a smile on his face. He was a good friend to Courtney, a regular participant here. Courtney has been especially concerned about Hardy as he recently had a stroke, and that was after surviving open heart surgery. She will benefit from your thoughts and prayers as she grieves over this sudden loss; to offer your condolences to Courtney, please visit her blog this afternoon.
