He was a Master Electrician, owning his own electrical company (Hardin Electric) from 1974 – 1985,

and later worked for the City of Amarillo as an Electrical Inspector.  Jack was an Army Reserve Veteran serving  from 05/01/1960 – 10/31/1960, receiving an Honorable Discharge and was also a Shriner.  He was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed all types of hunting. Jack was also a member of a local Fish & Ski Club where he was quite successful in both activities.  As well, Jack and Gle were part of a Good Sam’s Camping club where they enjoyed camping and could often be found playing cards and dominos with their family and friends. Jack and Gle also danced for a spell in a Square Dance club. And later, Jack joined a tractor restoration club.  And…Jack always loved his Dallas Cowboys football.
