They relocated to Merritt, B.C. in November of 1967 where he worked for Craigmont Mines and later for the Ministry of Highways. In January of 1986, Sam and his family relocated to 100 Mile House where he continued to work for the Ministry of Highways as District Office Manager until his retirement in 1993.
