In the early 60's, he moved to Dallas, Texas where he met and married his lifelong sweetheart, Linda Kay Ellison of Broken Bow, Oklahoma, with whom he raised their two children, working for many years, following in the footsteps of his dad and grandfather at the Santa Fe Railroad, and in later years in transportation. After retiring, he and Linda enjoyed day trips to small Texas towns. He was always happy as long as he had scratch offs. He was a dedicated, hard-working man and loved his family and friends.
