In 1987 they moved into the Melville area where he became the Melville Millionaires Junior A? hockey trainer. He was also a grader operator for several years in the R.M. of Stanley. In 2002 they moved to Katepwa Beach to manage the family 9 hole golf course and R.V. park. Due to Glenns failing health they moved to the Regina area in 2010.
