Dr. Glenn Hardy

Single Parent Scholarship Fund of NWA has lost a friend and advocate in Dr. Glenn Hardy.

Dr. Hardy served on the Board of Directors for two terms in 1995-1999 and 2003-2007.

Best known and revered for his contributions to agricultural education, Dr. Hardy served on the faculty of the University of Arkansas for 38 years. Nine of those years were spent in the Department of Agronomy. He was appointed Dean of the College of Agriculture and Home Economics in 1965 and served until 1987 when he joined the faculty in the Department of Agricultural and Extension Education, where he served until his retirement in 1994.

He once said, “The most important work I did can’t be documented. I got to work with Arkansas’s most important crop, the children. Many of the leaders of the state are our graduates.”

Dr. Glenn Hardy leaves a legacy for us to follow.

The board and staff of Single Parent Scholarship Fund of NWA convey our deepest sympathy to the Hardy family during this difficult time.

Carl A. Koffler

We are sadden to announce the passing of our longtime supporter and friend Carl A. Koffler.  

Carl was a progressive thinker – an early adopter to organic gardening, recycling, and leveraging computers for disciplined financial analysis. His large and bountiful garden enriched the lives of many friends and BTV residents. Carl was a lifelong learner with a prodigious memory and a strong appreciation for the arts, museums, and all things educational. Not one to mince words, he never hesitated to state his opinion and enjoyed entertaining others with his storytelling and unique sense of humor. Carl was warm, generous and caring, and incredibly committed to improving the lives of his family and local community.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Single Parent Scholarship Fund of NW Arkansas in Carl’s name: https://give.spsfnwa.org/. Online condolences are welcomed at www.beardsfuneralchapel.com.
