After several years the family moved to Kirriemuir, where he worked after finishing his school years.

Babe and Marie Dore were married in 1935. Babe had been working for a farmer in Monitor for five years when WWII broke out and he enlisted. He served until 1945 and spent part of that time in Italy where he drove one of the trucks that pulled the anti-artillery guns.

Babe was actively involved in the Provost Canadian Legion, and passed away in 1961.
