Albert Douglas “Doug” Hardman was born November 7, 1942 in Wichita, Kansas to Irv and LaVergne (Kobler) Hardman. He was the second of five children.

He attended grade school and high school in Hill City, Kansas. He received his Degree in Pharmacy from Kansas University in 1968. Doug enjoyed learning and was always ready to explore new technology and try out new cooking methods and equipment.

He spent most of his professional life in San Francisco working as a pharmacist for Walgreens. Shortly after Doug began his career in San Francisco, he took a leave to join the Peace Corps. He spent time in Brazil and made many lifelong friends while he was there. He then returned to San Francisco for the remainder of his career. After his retirement in 2005, he moved to Guadalajara, Mexico, living there until 2015. He returned to Lawrence, residing there until his death October 21, 2018.

During his life, Doug frequently came back to Kansas to visit friends and family. When our mom needed more support in her later years, Doug was a tremendous help. He had a special way of teasing her that she always enjoyed.

Doug is survived by Blaine and Sharon Hardman, Debbie and Stewart Harley, Nancy Hardman, Mindy and Brad Loveless and many nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews.

Family and friends were very important to him. His sharp wit and great sense of humor will be missed by all those who knew and loved him.
