He married Betty Heflin in 1961 at Central Presbyterian Church in Petersburg and were married until she passed away in 1996. They raised two boys and fostered another in Petersburg and that, along with his future grandchildren, helped Digger to acquire a deep love for the PORTA sports. He was best known for his love of watching any school sport, especially those his children and grandchildren were playing, forever being their biggest fan. He had an undying love for the Chicago Cubs, despite their many "off" seasons. Digger was a long-time member of St. Paul Evangelical Free Church; as well as the Local 16 Carpenters Union and the Teamsters. He was a carpenter for all his life and saw purpose in everything to use in his projects.
