Some of the six children, now grown with children and grandchildren of their own, remain here at the farm and close by in the area, while some have moved away and pursued a different course in life.
This large farm family gathers often as the draw of the family home and their agricultural heritage is still strong. Many of the 21 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren are involved in various aspects of agriculture.
