At a young age he began working around home and then for farmers in the district. On November 26, 1951 he was united in marriage to Victoria Ducharme. The couple lived at ‘the corner', and worked for farmers in the Binscarth and Russell districts as well as trapping and hunting. In 1967 the couple ventured west to British Columbia, where he worked for the railroad for a time before returning to ‘the corner'. In the 1970's the couple lived between Manitoba and with their daughter Rita in Saskatoon. In 1987 they came to Yorkton, where they resided. Victoria predeceased Leo on March 13, 2002.
