He started work with the Utah State Road Commission. His supervisor encouraged him to take a few more classes to become a Civil Engineer, which he did.

In 1996 he retired and enjoyed traveling to find the next good fishing spot.  He loved the outdoor life and always took his family with him. Hartly is survived by his Wife, Daughters: Lori Jacobsen in Bountiful; Sheri Wagner (Woody) in Santa Clara; and Joni Otto (Jeff) in Riverton.
