Upon moving to Southern California in 1964, he joined the Hughes Aircraft Co. as a member of their technical staff in Newport Beach.

He sold his own company, Centerline Engineering, in Santa Ana, California, and moved to Reno in 1995. Beginning with trombone-playing in high school, Jack continued to participate in music throughout his life. Jack worked on songwriting and copyrighted a number of songs working with Gary Douglas, a local musician. He also enjoyed playing golf at most of the local Reno courses with his golfing buddies. Jack was survived by his wife, a daughter in Nebraska and a son in Reno, as well as five grandchildren. He was predeceased by his brother, William Antes of Mesa, Arizona.
