Terry E. Hardman, 66, passed away on April 15, 2017, in the comfort of his home in Blue Springs.

He was the son of Jack and Waneta (Roby) Hardman. The only brother to two sisters, Jacque and Jana, he was known as the “laid back one” of the trio.

He was very active in the local Boy Scouts, a member of Troop #381, until he achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say in 1965. He graduated from Blue Springs High School in 1968. He joined the United States Postal Service in 1969, becoming a familiar and beloved face among the community he dutifully served for 36 years, until his retirement in 2005.

In 1970, Terry married his sweetheart, Vicki, a union which would bless them with two children. He reveled in the joy of his growing children and their many activities, while happily enjoying some quiet time fishing, mushroom hunting and tinkering with anything he could get his hands on the around the house.

Terry’s life was completed by the addition of his grandchildren, who paid him handsomely in never-ending smiles and giggles.

A son, a brother, a husband, a father, a grandfather… our Terry.

He was preceded in death by his by his father, Jack Hardman, and survived by his wife, Vicki; daughter, Tiffany Murnan; son, Troy (Laura) Hardman; mother, Waneta Hardman; sisters, Jacque (Bob) Brisco and Jana Hardman; and his grandchildren, Niah Murnan, Jack Hardman and baby, Victor Hardman, due in September.

Terry’s parents, Jack  and Waneta Hardman were formerly from El Dorado Springs, as well as his grandparents, Vivian and Marie Shoemaker,  Floyd and Kate Hardman and W. L. and Bertha Roby.

He will be sadly missed by his two nieces, Lorna Brisco and Amy Taylor, two nephews, Eric Brisco and Steven Amelung, and three great nephews along with several cousins – Lonnie and Bob Vann, Clyde Wallace, Larry J. Roberts, G.W. Roby, G.A. Roby, Janice Griffey, Connie Newton, Mae Foster, Mary Sparks and John Tuttle.
