Can you send evidence, link to local news source, a photocopy of his death certificate, etc. ? Zerbey 15:00, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
No matter, there is now a citation on the recent deaths page. Zerbey 21:53, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
He sure had a great life. Rest in Peace. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lord Vader (talk • contribs) 02:29, 9 December 2006 (UTC).

I believe his father was born in 1820, setting an unofficial record for the earliest-Dad born for living people back in 2006. And then his mother was born around 1853. Neal (talk) 04:08, 16 December 2007 (UTC).

I've placed the article on hold as there are some minor problems, mainly with the prose.

"he signed up to serve overseas in the first World War" - "World War I" would be better
"Hardy's father, a former slave by the name of Morris Hardy, was born in the 1830s. After the Civil War, his parents, his mother Nancy Hardy having been a slave as well, owned their own land in Mississippi, where the family lived. They had purchased 265 acres worth of land from a Chickasaw Native American for the price of a dollar." - I think this would be better phrased as "Hardy's parents, Morris Hardy - born in the 1830s - and Nancy Hardy, were former slaves who after the Civil War had purchased 265 acres of land in Mississippi from a Chickasaw Native American for a dollar."
"Hardy served a total of one year, from July 1918 to July 1919, in France, including a total of thirty-nine combat days." - would be better phrased as "Hardy's service in France lasted from July 1918 to July 1919, and included thirty-nine combat days."
"but also performed many other manual labor tasks" - "many" is redundant
"France" doesn't need to be linked twice in the same section, and it should be linked in the lead.
"and removing the remains of the dead." - "the remains of" is redundant
"Post World-War I" - hyphen should be after "Post"
Victory Medal should be linked in the lead
"his son could not remember whether or not this came from actual combat." - is this relevant?
"After World War I, Hardy did not serve in World War II" - "After World War I" is redundant
"deacon" should be linked in the lead
" sixth-oldest verified person in the world and the second oldest man" - inconsistant hyphen use.
Let me know when these are fixed or if you disagree with anything. Epbr123 (talk) 04:37, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

No disagreements here; thank you for the thorough review! Is there anything else that needs to be done? Cheers, CP 06:03, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Pass. Well done. Epbr123 (talk) 13:45, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the review! Cheers, CP 18:34, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

If so this should be in the lede. Lycurgus (talk) 08:33, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
