Herbert Hardwick Obituary

My prayers continue to be with Olen's family. He was a joy to be around. Darlington will never be the same without him there with us. And I don't know who I will pick on and vice versa during the races. I always knew if Jimmy or Jeff won that race that he would be scoping me out Monday morning!! He will be and is already terrible missed by me and my husband George. God Bless you all!!

I've learned so much about my brother reading these entries. He welcomed and encouraged everyone. We didn't know how much we were going to miss him.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

I AM SORRY TO HERE ABOUT THE PASSING OF MR OLIN HE WAS A VERY FINE AND KIND HEARTED MAN WHO LOVE TO LOOK FOR JEWERLY IN THE SAND. I WORK WITH HIM IN AND AROUND MUSC. I WILL SURELY MISS HIM AND HIS CART

Dear Paula and Family,
It is with a very heavy heart that I write this to you. I can't tell you how much knowing Olen meant to me. Always smiling, always positive, always kind and gentle. I am so very sorry for your loss. May God keep you in His mercy and wrap His loving arms around you today and everyday.

Our friend and neighbor will truly be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Im very sorry for your loss <3

Paula, I am so sorry! It just doesn't seem possible to have a world without Olen. I am sorry I was unable to attend I worked the last couple of nights. My love and prayers and thoughts are with you and the children. Please call if you need to talk.
Much love! Sharon

To my old friend your light will shine on forever through the happy memories you have left.
Love, Sharon

To God be the Glory. What a wonderful blessing it was to know Olen. He always remained positive about his illness. You would ask him how he was doing and he would be brief but very direct about his health, then on to the next subject. He was so happy to be a GrandDad. He loved him family.

Find peace and comfort in your memories of Olen.

Paula and family--I am heartsick to learn of the passing of Olen. Olen always had a smile on his face, and would stop to talk when we passed in the hallways. He was so proud of his children and grandchildren. His presence here will be sorely missed. Keeping you and family in my prayers.
What a special person he was!

Dear Paula,

I am so sad to hear about Olen's passing. He was a ray of SUNLIGHT that graced the volunteer office on occasion. We loved him, and admired him so much. MUSC has lost a good person, and we in the Office of Volunteer and Guest Services will always love and remember Olen. You are in our heart, thought and prayers.

I did not know Olen for very long, but he was always willing to help me and I will never forget his smiling friendly face. Truly my deepest sympathy, Olen will certainly be missed by all....may God bless and provide comfort to all the family.
