Upon leaving Big River, he moved to Prince Albert where he worked for the Blue Chain Store and later for Bricker’s Shoe Store. While working at Bricker’s, in a chance encounter, he met the love of his life Theresa. They were married September 23, 1953. Over the next few years he held various positions taking him as far away as Vancouver, BC to Uranium City in Northern Saskatchewan before finally settling in The Pas, MB where he was transferred to manage the SAAN Store.
