In 1939 when the Rolling Hills district opened for irrigation farming, he bought a quarter of land north of the town of Rolling Hills. Upon selling this quarter of land in 1949 he bought a half section south east of Rolling Hills. November 19 of the same year he married Alice Lermite of Manor, Saskatchewan.

Dad moved to Drumheller in 1997 where he resided until his passing. He was well known for his friendly nature and the ability to make many friends over the years. He was there to help anyone any time, something he had done all his life. He enjoyed puttering around the yard and was proud of his garden, small as it was. Also his love for auction and garage sales was the hi light of his being. He is survived by one daughter Eileen and son-in-law Clifford Ing (Nosey the Cat & Dingo the Dog) of Drumheller.

Don¹t grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God has laid you see. I took his hand when I heard his call. I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found the peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joys, A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, These things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life¹s been full, I savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief. Don¹t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts, and peace to thee. God wants me now. He set me free.
