His first marriage ended in 1980, and he later married Doreen Francis.

After many years of herding cattle on horseback, he and his great dog, Max, would bring cows home off Fly Hills Range, Tommy in his pick-up, and Max herding the cows down the road home.
He finally retired from farming in 2003, and together, they moved to Vernon.
