John S. Hartnett

Father Doug put together a men’s retreat in Casa Grande at the scene Francisco Grande John was part of the leadership team and welcomed us all with his invite, laughter, and soon to be a long friendship for many many of the men there It’s so hard to believe that he has gone John and Ina were my neighbors in the early 90’s never forget the laughter we had when we would stop over and have spaghetti and meatballs Then john and I became golf buddies 😂 John would always wear his shoes so when one would wear out, he would put a different shoe on and never have the same pair at the same time I remember asking him to go to a work tournament with me and I took a colleague of mine to play. To this day they still talk about the guy that wore 2 different pairs on his feet when playing Love you John H RIP

John was a light in this world that was shown each time we were lucky enough to be in his presence. His smile was contagious and each time one got to spend a little time with John he spoke to you like you were the only one in the room. He always made me laugh and always shared a fun story about his family. His Ina and his girls and grandchildren are the love of his life and he ALWAYS shared a story of them when we were in contact. John was a amazing man, husband, father, grandfather son friend faithful Servant of God and so much more! He will be missed greatly by all Who love him. May you rest in eternal Peace John Hartley. You will Never be forgotten May go wrap his loving arms around each of your sweet family members as if being embraced by you John. Especially when they need it the most. 🙏🏼 Much Love to you all❤️ the Krouse Family Janna Troy Kailee Lance Radlynn Ranger Kolton Konner Shay

John insisted that I was his wife’s twin! He kept saying he couldn’t believe that there was someone as crazy and outgoing as his own wife! That we were identical! Sure enough… when I was introduced to Nina it was the start of an incredible friendship and some of the best laughs of my life! John lit up a room and his kindness was always felt. He will forever be in my heart. ❤️

My family & I joined St Anne's Catholic Church full-time in June 1992. I started formation as a deacon in August 1996. A year or so later, our pastor, the late Fr. Doug Lorig, invited those of us in deacon formation and those men who were interested in becoming a deacon to an evening at the Hartnett's home. Unfortunately, John was never accepted into formation to become a deacon. I can't say I knew very much about John until the first St Anne's men's retreat in June 2000. I had nearly finished my deacon formation and expected to be ordained in November 2000 when in early May I received a two-year deferral. So I was in need of some consolation when that June retreat rolled around. If you've heard the expression about someone being bigger that life, John was that guy. At the retreat he'd "hold court" outside at breaks and in the evenings. He'd tell stories and make us laugh. He did this little thing where he'd swing his arms and sway his hips. (I still can't do that.) John was also quite the Catholic apologist. He knew well his Bible and his Faith. I've never been and never will be the apologist that John was...and I'm the one that was ordained! John will be so missed. Vaya con Dios, my brother.

John and I were co-workers in the 1980's. As we got to know each other we found out that we both had a good sense of humor and started telling each other jokes and rewording songs to make them funny and help pass the time during work. John was even able to get me to go golfing with him a few times in the summer and tried to teach me how to play. I never got the golf bug like him but still enjoyed our time together. One of my fondest memories of John was when I had some car troubles and couldn't afford to get it repaired right away. John allowed me to sleep on his couch for weeks and we rode to work together on his motorcycle. Ina even cut my hair many times. John never asked me to pay him for anything. He was one of the kindest and gentle guys I've ever known. I'm sure he will be missed by many.
