Though they had no children of their own, they cared about children and would provide a place for many youngsters to go for a summer job or for some tender loving discipline and encouragement. That was how he and Bill Elliott first became involved together. They became very close and worked together for many years on the ranch. Bill remains on the ranch to this day.
