84 Lumber founder Hardy weds for 4th time
FAIRCHANCE — Joe Hardy, the 86-year-old founder of the 84 Lumber chain based in southwestern Pennsylvania, has married for a fourth time.
Jeff Nobers, an 84 Lumber spokesman, confirmed Hardy got married again last week to a Florida woman named Rebecca Davis. The wedding was held at Nemacolin Woodlands, a posh resort Hardy owns about 40 miles south of Pittsburgh.
Hardy had five children by his first wife, Dorothy, before they divorced in 1997 and Hardy, then 74, married 26-year-old Debra Maley, then an 84 Lumber employee. She and Hardy had two children before divorcing.
Hardy married and divorced 23-year-old Kristen Georgi, an employee at Nemacolin, within a few months in 2007.
