He was married to Mavis Arnold. Together they had three boys Dwain, Terry and Woody and together they later moved to Alberta. His greatest enjoyment in life was his horses, his dogs and cattle. He enjoyed Saturday night dances where he would 'dance the night away' and many times being the last one to leave the floor. His greatest love and desire in life was his many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
