He married his wife, Miriam, in 1947 and the couple moved to Britannia Beach in 1954, where they started a family; they had three sons named Bruce, Gordon, and Ian as well as a daughter, Penny (who passed away in 1967). TJ was active with the Howe Sound School District, serving on its board in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. In 1986, they moved to Garibaldi Highlands in Squamish.
