Three boys were born to this union: Joseph Raymond (Lynda) of St. George, Utah, Ernest Spence (Deborah) currently serving in the Kirkland Ohio Historic Sites Mission, and Henry Scott (Christine) of Rupert, Idaho.

After several rewarding years, they sold Downata and moved to Logan, Utah where he worked in real estate and then for Job Service/Utah until his retirement. Raymond and Maxine served as Ordinance Workers in the Logan Temple for many years, which was a very special calling to both of them.
