In 1958 he became the first warden of Steveville (later Dinosaur) Provincial Park and he remained in that position until his retirement in 1965. He and his wife, Loretta Gladys "Rita" Gehman, 1904-1990, shared an interest in history and archaeology. He was a member of the Archaeological Society of Alberta and a director of the Alberta Historical Society.
