A note to the Hartkopf Family: Just to let you know that we are praying for you. Memories of your dad go way back to the late 70's for me. He was a great inspiration. He loveD God and the truth. May God bless your hearts and his memory.
I am sorry for your loss. Losing a friend or family member in death is never easy. One thing that helps me cope with the loss of a loved one is a scripture at John 5:28, 29. It states, "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life..." Soon you will be able to see Rev. Hartkopf again because our creator promises to resurrect those sleeping in death. I hope that this promise from the Almighty God has offered some comfort.
Dear Hartkopf family, I was so saddened to see of your Dad's passing and wish I had seen it in time to come in person and pay my respects to him and all of you. Your dad and each of you were a key part of my life on Ferris Ave. and will always be special to me. I will always think of your dad driving past our house with his friendly wave as we sat on the porch with my parents passing the time.
Please know I am thinking of you all.
Pastor Ron was my pastor when I was a teen. He always prayed for me and made me feel loved by God and him. He never judged. He dedicated my first child, Joshua, in 1979. To me, he was a reflection of God's spirit. I know he is in Heaven praising God right now. It was my honor and privilege to have him be a part of my life. I will always be grateful for that. My prayers are with his family.
Ron, please accept my sincere condolences at this time. Your father will be up in heaven, with both my parents. May they have conversations about the old Keller Jr. High band days...take care.
Thinking of you at this difficult time! May the many great memories help you through the tough times!
Praying for your family
My heart and sympathy go out to all of the Hartkopf family. May you find comfort and healing in the love of those who remember with you. Treasure the memories.
To our Hartkopf Family, Our sincere condolences to all of you at this great loss. Ron will be dearly missed.
Our Love and Prayers are with all of you.
Mickey & Jackie Hartkopf and Family
I've lost a good friend, colleague, and we've lost a wonderful human being. I missed him every day I didn't see his smile after he retired and so did all his employees.
God Bless and Keep him.
