He met his future wife Linda Tilton of Randolph, VT. They married on October 16, 1971. Together they continued to dairy farm in Randolph before moving to Post Mills in 1975. Together they had four children, and ran their own farm for many years. He went on to work for DHIA, Select Sires and LF Trottier’s for many years.
