He met his wife Florence Grant at a dance in Swift Current in 1948 and the couple were married on October 7, 1950 in Swift Current, SK. He began work for Gallant Motors in Swift Current right after they were married. Sam worked winters as a mechanic at various service stations and summers helping his dad farming. In 1954, they opened their own service station in Wymark called S+F Texaco. Sam also drove school bus for fifteen years. He began farming his own land, beginning with a quarter section purchase from his father-in-law and continued farming until 2011 when he retired. Mom and Dad began square dancing in 1961. Soon after Dad started calling for various square dance clubs, including The Crazy 8's Kid's Club, Waldeck Ookpiks and Westwind Singles. They made many lifelong friends through this pastime. They also arranged many bus tours and trips with fellow square dancers to such places as Florida, Nashville, New Orleans, the Maritimes and Hawaii. In 1973, Mom and Dad achieved their dream of building a new house on a piece of land they owned near McMahon. They loved the peace and quiet and lived there happily until 2011, when they sold and moved to Swift Current, due to Dad's declining health.
