Just a Poor Old Man on Social Security

Jack Jardine may be a poor old man on social security, but he sure enjoys it!

He and his wife of 62 years, Peggy, have 2 children, Jeff and Cindy of Twin Falls; 9 grandchildren, and 17 great-grandchildren! With such a full life, it's no wonder you can always find him with a smile that encourages others to do the same.

Jack's previous career was as a car salesman and he was excellent at it for 45 years. For 15 consecutive years, he was given the prestigious award of "Salesman of the Nation" for the Denver Region! He was even written about in Time Magazine for his successes.

Jack tried retirement, but the poor old man couldn't hack it so he gave it all up for a career in real estate.

For more than 14 years now, Jack's profession has brought him many opportunities to help others, something he has always enjoyed.

When Jack isn't making sure his beautiful golden retriever, Rosie, has a comfy bed in his lap, he can often be found giving back to others. No stranger to community service, Jack is well-known for his volunteerism, contributions, and giving nature.

Jack has certainly made a name for himself in the Magic Valley and has become an integral part of our community in fundraising, time, and support.

For his service to our valley, Jack has received many awards including:

• 2018 Person of the Year award from the Western Days Parade

• 2018 Realtor of the Year Award from the Western Magic Valley Realtor's Association

• 2014 Lifetime Achievement Award by the Twin Falls Chamber of Commerce

• He was also named Person of the Year by the Twin Falls Chamber of Commerce twice

• Achieved lifetime emeritus status with the Twin Falls Chamber of Commerce

Jack has also served on many boards and committees and holds positions in a variety of organizations such as:

• St. Luke's Hospital Foundation

• Magic Valley Boys & Girls Club

• City Golf Advisory Commission

• Twin Falls County Fairgrounds Foundation Board - Each year Jack organizes golf carts to help people in need get from their vehicles to wherever they need to go at the fair.

• Buhl Sagebrush Days - one of the first co-chairs

• Western Magic Valley Realtor's Association - Communications Committee and Caravan Committee

With all of his successes outside the home, Jack is quick to thank his family for their support, stating he would have been nothing without his wife and their family being by his side.

When Jack isn't working on giving back to others (including being the best Santa of all time for certain friends), he can often be found exploring the outdoors.

Whether it's venturing outside with the grandkids and great-grandkids, performing some honey-dos, or having his son and grandsons steal him away on fun adventures like hunting and sturgeon fishing, Jack enjoys everything life has to offer.

Not bad for a poor old guy on social security.
