Hardy was born to the late Lloyd and Lila (Hill) Roe on November 30, 1924 in Calgary, Alberta. He spent his childhood years in Calgary. At the age of 17 he enlisted in the Armed Forces and served during WW11. Following his time in the Forces he went on to the University of Alberta, Edmonton, achieving a degree in Commerce. He then went to work as an auditor for the federal government. While working in Calgary he met his late wife Marion and they formed a loving partnership of 59 years. Their three children Alison (Barry Smith), Joanne (Neil Whyte) and Robert were all born in Winnipeg and many happy family years were spent there before moving to Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1969.
